NBA (US professional basketball) superstar Luka Dončić (27, LA Lakers), known as a 'daughter doting father', has been sued by his ex-fiancée for child support exceeding 70 billion won. The ex-fiancée submitted a request to the court along with a massive bill, asking that Dončić's visitation time with his daughters be cut in half.

Major foreign media outlets including US entertainment outlet TMZ reported on the 7th (Korea time) that Anamaria Gotes, Dončić's ex-fiancée and former common-law partner, recently filed a new child custody and support lawsuit worth 50 million dollars (approximately 71 billion won in Hanwha currency) at a local court in Slovenia.

According to the reports, Gotes had previously withdrawn a lawsuit she filed at a Los Angeles (LA) court, stating, "I want to resolve this amicably through mutual agreement for the best interests of the children." However, it is interpreted that as jurisdiction in the US courts became limited and her chances of winning diminished, she moved the venue to Slovenia where her two daughters reside and immediately filed a massive lawsuit. Dončić and Gotes have two daughters together. The first was born in December 2023, and the second was born in December 2025.

Of the 50th million dollars claimed by Gotes, 40 million dollars (approximately 56.7 billion won) is for her own compensation and damages, while 10 million dollars (approximately 14.2 billion won) is designated as child support for their two daughters, Gabriela and Olivia.

Notably, Gotes also requested the court to significantly reduce Dončić's visitation time with his children from the current 'two days a week' to just 'one day a week.' For Dončić, who is known to have deep affection for his daughters, this means facing not only a massive financial burden but also the double hardship of being restricted from meeting his children.

The two, whose 10-year relationship and engagement (engaged in 2023) ended abruptly, are expected to engage in fierce legal battles at a Slovenian court moving forward. Dončić has even declined calls to join the Slovenia national team this summer and is staying in his home country to secure joint custody of his two daughters.

Meanwhile, it is reported that Dončić plans to prepare for the new season alongside handling the custody dispute with his family by inviting all players from his team to Slovenia at the end of August to hold a four-day mini-camp.
