Doncic is asking the court to dismiss the case, arguing that neither he, Goltes, nor their children live in California. He believes the matter should instead be handled in Slovenia, where he already filed legal paperwork.
According to documents obtained by TMZ Sports, the Lakers star and his attorney, Laura Wasser, asked an L.A. County judge on Friday to throw out Goltes' request for child support and attorneys' fees because it was filed in California.
In the filing, Doncic states that he has been trying for months to convince Goltes to move to California with their children, but she has refused after returning to Slovenia last May.
Luka also claims that he filed a petition in Slovenia back in February, addressing both custody and child support, before Goltes submitted her request in California earlier this month.
He adds that he already covers all expenses for their daughters – 2-year-old Gabriela and 4-month-old Olivia – and argues that Goltes' decision to file in California is a "clear attempt to forum shop and avail herself of the generous amounts of child support for which California is well known."
Docic is now asking the court to dismiss the California filing.
