ORLANDO, Fla. — Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/a> filed documents with the Superior Court of Los Angeles on Friday seeking dismissal of a petition filed by his ex-fianc\u00e9e, Anamaria Goltes, that pursued child support and attorney fees from Don\u010di\u0107, sources familiar with Don\u010di\u0107’s situation told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Goltes is the mother of Don\u010di\u0107’s two daughters — 2-year-old Gabriela and 4-month-old Olivia — and lives in Slovenia with the children but filed her petition in California earlier this month.<\/p>\n

This comes after Don\u010di\u0107 filed an interim injunction with the Slovenian courts last month, seeking immediate contact with Gabriela and Olivia, sources familiar with Don\u010di\u0107’s situation told ESPN, and addressing joint custody and child support.<\/p>\n

A message from ESPN seeking comment from Goltes’ attorney, Evan C. Itzkowitz, was not immediately replied to.<\/p>\n

Don\u010di\u0107, 27, remains a resident of Texas despite being traded from the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> to the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> in February 2025, sources familiar with Don\u010di\u0107’s situation told ESPN. Furthermore, one of Don\u010di\u0107’s daughters was with him in California for only three months last spring, and his other daughter has never been to the state.<\/p>\n

Don\u010di\u0107 and the Lakers are playing the Orlando Magic<\/a> on Saturday, looking to extend their eight-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

During the streak, Don\u010di\u0107 has averaged 40.9 points — making him the fifth player in NBA history to average 40-plus points over an eight-game streak, joining Wilt Chamberlain<\/a>, Elgin Baylor<\/a>, Michael Jordan and James Harden<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORLANDO, Fla. — Luka Don\u010di\u0107 filed documents with the Superior Court of Los Angeles on Friday seeking dismissal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":557483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-557482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/557483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
