Paul Pierce Challenges Ex-Partner’s $30,000 Monthly Child Support Request
Former NBA star Paul Pierce is challenging his ex-partner Princess Santiago’s request for $30,000 in monthly child support and $100,000 in legal fees for their newborn son, King. Court filings state that Pierce has offered to pay $5,000 monthly and wants the court to set support at about $4,145. He says his income has fallen since his NBA retirement and is expected to decline further after his remaining Fox Sports payments end in September 2026. Pierce says he already pays $20,000 monthly in spousal support and $24,000 in child support for four other children. He is seeking joint legal and physical custody, while Santiago is requesting sole custody. He also disputes claims that Santiago has limited means, alleging she earns more than $400,000 yearly. Pierce denies allegations about excessive drinking and says he lives a stable life with his girlfriend.
