Luka Doncic's ex-files child support withdrawal amid cross-border custody fight

Anamaria Goltes asked a Los Angeles County court to dismiss her child-support petition against Luka Doncic, while retaining the option to refile later.

A Los Angeles County court received a petition from Anamaria Goltes on Monday seeking to dismiss her child-support case against NBA star Luka Doncic, emphasizing a desire for a mutually agreeable solution for their children. Goltes indicated the withdrawal is “without prejudice,” preserving the right to reopen the matter if needed, but the court noted the document was missing Doncic’s signature, leaving the motion pending.

The legal battle also features a separate family-law action filed in Slovenia in February 2026, which Doncic’s attorney Laura Wasser contends is the proper venue, accusing Goltes of forum-shopping for higher support amounts. The couple, who met as teenagers and have two daughters, publicly confirmed their breakup in March, with Doncic citing his commitment to his children’s well-being. Goltes initially filed the support petition on March 9, explicitly stating she was not pursuing custody. The case highlights the complexities of cross-jurisdictional family law involving a high-profile athlete.

Why it matters

The case shows how international jurisdiction can affect high-profile family law disputes.
