When Luka\u202fDon\u010di\u0107\u2019s name lights up the NBA headlines, the world usually focuses on his dazzling play, his recent trade to the Los Angeles Lakers, or his record\u2011breaking performances. Yet, the basketball superstar\u2019s personal life has also captured public attention\u2014especially after his partner, Slovenian model and former beauty\u2011queen Anamaria\u202fGoltes<\/strong>, filed a child\u2011support petition in the United States. The move, which came after Goltes returned to her home country, raises questions about cross\u2011border family law, the logistics of raising children in two continents, and the responsibilities of a global celebrity parent.<\/p>\n \\n\\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n In the United States, a child\u2011support petition is a formal request to a court to establish a financial arrangement for a child\u2019s upbringing. It does not automatically involve custody or visitation rights; those are addressed separately. In this case, Goltes\u2019 petition seeks to secure a predictable stream of support for their two minor children and to cover attorney fees. The filing indicates that the children have been living with her in Slovenia since May of last year, and that she wants the U.S. court to recognize and enforce the support order.<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n There are several practical reasons why a parent might choose to file a child\u2011support petition in an American court, even when the children reside abroad:<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/ul>\n \\n\\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n Don\u010di\u0107 and Goltes first met in 2016, when the 27\u2011year\u2011old Slovenian basketball star was still a rising talent in the NBA\u2019s Dallas Mavericks. Their relationship blossomed over the years, culminating in a proposal on July\u202f7,\u202f2023. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Gabriela<\/strong>, on November\u202f30,\u202f2023. The second daughter, Olivia<\/strong>, arrived on December\u202f4,\u202f2025, with Don\u010di\u0107 traveling to Slovenia to be present for the birth.<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n Following the birth of their second child, Goltes moved back to Slovenia in May of the previous year. Since then, the children have lived with her, while Don\u010di\u0107 has continued his NBA career, most recently joining the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster trade that also sent Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in February\u202f2025.<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n Despite the geographic separation, the couple\u2019s decision to file a child\u2011support petition indicates a desire to formalize their financial responsibilities. The petition does not request custody orders, suggesting that both parties are comfortable with the current arrangement of the children residing with Goltes.<\/p>\n \\n\\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n The petition, filed in a U.S. court, specifically requests:<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/p>\n \\n<\/ul>\n \\n<\/p>\n While the petition\u2019s focus is narrow, it sets the stage for future legal proceedings if either party wishes to modify the arrangement. For instance, should Don\u010di\u0107\u2019s financial situation change, or should the children\u2019s needs evolve, the court can revisit the support order.<\/p>\n \\n\\n<\/p>\nWhy a Child\u2011Support Petition?
