A legal battle involving NBA star Luka Dončić and his former fiancée, Anamaria Goltes, has concluded with a California court dismissing Goltes's child support claim. The decision, reported by the New York Post, brings a potential end to a protracted legal drama.
During a virtual hearing, Dončić's attorney, Laura Wasser, known as the "divorce queen" in the U.S., reportedly clashed with Goltes's lawyer, Evan C. Itzkowitz. Wasser argued that the initiation of the case had merely wasted the time of both her and her client.
I believe it was clearly visible from our documentation that this procedure should not have been initiated, Your Honor.
While reports from various media outlets suggested Goltes was seeking a substantial monthly sum, estimated between $200,000 and $600,000, and earlier claims of $50 million, the court's dismissal appears to resolve the matter. TMZ had previously reported Goltes was withdrawing her case, but this was contingent on Dončić's signature, which was apparently not provided.
The legal proceedings have now seemingly concluded, with the court rejecting the support claim. This outcome provides Dončić with a significant resolution to a personal legal issue that has been ongoing.
But I believe that Mr. Itzkowitz will now tell you that he is asking for the dismissal of the procedure and that you do not have to decide on this case. Is that correct, Mr. Itzkowitz?
