Paul Pierce child support legal dispute

Overview

Former NBA player Paul Pierce is involved in a legal dispute with his ex-partner, Princess Santiago, regarding child support and financial disclosures. Santiago has filed motions alleging that Pierce is intentionally withholding information about his income from Fox Sports 1, a cannabis company, and commercial property interests. She is seeking $10,000 for forensic accounting costs and $40,000 in legal fees.

In subsequent court filings, Pierce reported significant financial hardship, stating he is “tapped out” following the end of his employment with Fox Sports. He noted that his monthly income from the network, which previously averaged $119,000, dropped to zero after August. Pierce’s legal team argued that he is “drowning financially” and would face “great difficulty” covering Santiago’s requested legal and accounting fees. He currently faces monthly obligations including approximately $28,000 in child support and $20,000 in spousal support to Santiago, alongside monthly living expenses of roughly $48,000.

Recent court documents provide further detail on Pierce’s finances, noting that while his primary network income has ceased, he reported earning approximately $23,000 last month from other business interests. He also disclosed having $300,000 in cash and property valued at approximately $3 million. His detailed monthly expenses include $8,000 for childcare, $7,000 for dining out, $5,000 for groceries, and $3,500 for entertainment.
