Pierce Battles $30K Monthly Child Support Demand
31 Jul
Summary
- Pierce opposes ex's $29,811 monthly child support request.
- He proposes paying $4,145 monthly based on finances.
- Pierce already pays $44,000 monthly for spousal/child support.

Paul Pierce is officially opposing his ex-partner Princess Santiago's demand for $29,811 in monthly child support for their son, King. Pierce has proposed a payment of $4,145 per month, which he believes aligns better with his current financial status. Santiago had also requested $100,000 for legal fees and nearly $20,000 for pregnancy-related costs.
Pierce's filing indicates that his income is projected to drop significantly in September when residual payments from Fox Sports 1 cease. He also highlighted his existing financial commitments, which include $20,000 monthly for spousal support and $24,000 monthly for four other children, totaling $44,000 before any new order.
The dispute also involves custody, with Pierce seeking joint legal and physical custody, while Santiago wants sole custody.
