According to the New York Post<\/a>, Goltes’ petition for child support was formally dismissed on Friday after attorneys for both sides appeared remotely in a Los Angeles County courtroom.<\/p>\n Judge Melissa C. Lyons granted the dismissal without prejudice, meaning Goltes retains the ability to bring another case in the future if the necessary legal requirements are met.<\/p>\n The decision closes the California proceeding without determining the underlying child support dispute.<\/p>\n Doncic was represented by prominent family-law attorney Laura Wasser, while Evan C. Itzkowitz represented Goltes.<\/p>\n During the hearing, Wasser argued that the California proceeding should never have been initiated and criticized the time spent dealing with the case before its eventual withdrawal.<\/p>\n Goltes originally sought child support in March <\/p>\n The legal dispute in California began on March 9, when Goltes filed a petition seeking child support and attorney fees from Doncic. The filing did not specify an amount.<\/p>\n One day later, Luka publicly confirmed that he had ended his engagement to Goltes, with whom he shares two daughters.<\/p>\n Doncic’s legal team subsequently challenged the California filing on jurisdictional grounds.<\/p>\n In court documents, Doncic argued that neither he, Goltes nor their daughters were California residents and that family proceedings had already been initiated in Slovenia, where the children live.<\/p>\n His side maintained that Slovenia, rather than California, was the appropriate jurisdiction for the dispute.<\/p>\n Wasser filed a motion to dismiss the California case on March 20, arguing that Goltes was attempting to take advantage of California’s more generous child support system.<\/p>\n Credit Alamy\/Scanpix<\/p>\n Goltes requested dismissal to pursue mutual agreement <\/p>\n The case took a significant turn on August 3 when Goltes filed paperwork asking to withdraw her California petition.<\/p>\n She said she wanted to resolve the matter “amicably and by a mutual agreement” in the best interests of their children.<\/p>\n Goltes specifically requested a dismissal without prejudice.<\/p>\n That request was not immediately finalized because of procedural issues with the initial paperwork, leaving Friday’s hearing necessary before Lyons formally closed the case.<\/p>\n The dismissal therefore ends the California portion of the dispute, but it does not necessarily resolve the broader disagreement between Doncic and Goltes.<\/p>\n Reported $50 million demand emerges in Slovenia <\/p>\n Days after Goltes requested to withdraw her California petition, TMZ Sports reported that the dispute had shifted to Slovenia.<\/p>\n According to TMZ, Goltes filed a new claim there seeking a reported $50 million settlement, including $40 million for herself. The outlet also reported that Goltes wants Doncic’s parenting time reduced from at least two days per week to one.<\/p>\n Those figures and custody requests are reported claims rather than court-ordered payments or finalized rulings.<\/p>\n Doncic had already maintained for months that questions involving support and custody should be handled in Slovenia, where his daughters reside.<\/p>\n Credit FIBA<\/p>\n Doncic prioritized custody battle over national team <\/p>\n The family dispute has also affected Doncic’s basketball plans.<\/p>\n In May, the Lakers star announced that he would not play for Slovenia during the summer as he pursued joint custody and prioritized spending time with his daughters.<\/p>\n “I love my daughters more than anything, and they will always come first in my life,’ Doncic said at the time, explaining that the custody situation forced him to choose between international basketball and remaining closer to his children.<\/p>\n Doncic and Goltes had known each other since childhood and became engaged in July 2023.<\/p>\n They share two daughters, who currently reside in Slovenia with Goltes while Doncic spends much of the NBA season in the United States.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thank you for reading us!
