<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nLuka Don\u010di\u0107\u2019s legal dispute with his former fianc\u00e9e, Anamaria Goltes, has taken another unexpected turn. Court records reviewed by The California Post<\/span> show that Goltes filed a request on Monday to withdraw the child support petition she had brought against the Los Angeles Lakers star earlier this year. In the filing, she said she wants to resolve the matter through a mutual agreement that is in the best interests of their children. However, the dismissal has not yet been approved because the court noted that Don\u010di\u0107\u2019s signature is missing from the paperwork.<\/p>\n According to court records reviewed by The California Post<\/span>, Goltes filed a request to dismiss her child support petition on Monday. In her statement to the Los Angeles County court, she explained why she wanted to step back from the case.\u201cI am withdrawing my Petition for Child Support,\u201d Goltes wrote in a statement to a Los Angeles County court, \u201cwith the specific intention of resolving this matter amicably and by a mutual agreement which is in the best interests of our children.\u201dShe also asked for the dismissal to be made \u201cwithout prejudice,\u201d which means she would still have the option to file the petition again in the future if needed.The request has not yet been granted. Court officials noted that the filing is incomplete because it does not include Don\u010di\u0107\u2019s signature.Goltes first opened the child support case on March 9. In her original filing, she did not explain why she was seeking child support, but she also stated that she was not asking the court for any custody orders involving their two daughters.<\/p>\n Soon after confirming that he and Goltes had ended their engagement, Don\u010di\u0107 hired well-known family law attorney Laura Wasser to represent him in the case.On March 20, Wasser filed a motion asking the California court to dismiss Goltes\u2019 petition. She argued that California was not the right place to hear the dispute.\u201cCalifornia Petition is a clear attempt to forum shop and avail herself of the generous amounts of child support for which California is well-known.\u201dWasser also claimed that Goltes had been keeping the couple\u2019s children away from Don\u010di\u0107, adding that the NBA star had already started a family law case in Slovenia in February 2026.\u201cSlovenia is the appropriate forum for adjudication of this dispute.\u201dA hearing on that motion had been scheduled for August 14.Don\u010di\u0107 and Goltes had been together since their teenage years and share two daughters. When announcing their split in March, Don\u010di\u0107 spoke publicly about his children in a statement to ESPN.\u201cI love my daughters more than anything and I\u2019ve been doing everything I can for them to be with me in the U.S. during the season, but that hasn\u2019t been possible, so I recently made the tough decision to end my engagement.Everything I do is for my daughters\u2019 happiness and I will always fight to be with them and give them the best life I can.\u201d<\/div>\nAnamaria Goltes asks court to withdraw child support petition against Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
