Overview
- Luka Dončić retained celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser in March and filed to throw out Anamaria Goltes’s Los Angeles child-support petition, with a court hearing set for May.
- His motion argues California lacks jurisdiction because neither parent nor their two daughters lives in the state and says he opened a family case in Slovenia in February.
- The filing brands the Los Angeles case as forum shopping, a tactic of choosing a court seen as awarding higher support, and asks the judge to defer to Slovenia.
- Goltes’s petition in Los Angeles seeks attorney’s fees and an unspecified amount of support, and the case remains pending until the court rules.
- In a sworn declaration, Dončić says he pays the children’s expenses in Slovenia and offered to bring them to California during the NBA season, which he says Goltes declined.
