Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic has more to worry about than just what’s happening on the NBA basketball court this summer, as he and his ex-fiancée continue to navigate a breakup complicated by the fact that they share two young children together.
Things between Doncic and Anamaria Goltes, a model from their shared home country of Slovenia, took a turn toward resolution recently, as Goltes rescinded her petition for child support from Doncic in a California court in Los Angeles County. She originally filed said petition in March 2026 following the end of their engagement.
“I am withdrawing my Petition for Child Support with the specific intention of resolving this matter amicably and by a mutual agreement, which is in the best interests of our children,” Goltes wrote in a submitted statement, per a report from the New York Post on Tuesday, August 4.
Goltes will reserve the right to refile the submission for child support in the future, should the court grant its dismissal, per her request. The Post reported that Doncic must sign said request before the court can validate it and issue a decision.

Doncic challenged Goltes’ petitions for both child support and legal fees in March, following her initial filings.
The argument from his attorneys was that Doncic and his two daughters are not permanent residents of the State of California and that Goltes was pushing for the custody and child support battles to play out there because the results might prove more favorable to her interests, per a report from TMZ Sports.
Doncic’s legal team also asserted that they had filed petitions in Slovenia to address child support and custody concerns.
It is unclear how, if at all, Goltes’ latest request to withdraw her petition for child support in California will impact any legal proceedings in Slovenia.

Meanwhile, Doncic has plans in Slovenia for his Lakers teammates, according to a report from Dave McMenamin of ESPN in late July.
“Luka Doncic is hosting the entire Los Angeles Lakers roster in Slovenia for a four-day minicamp in August, a source close to the Lakers told ESPN,” McMenamin wrote on X. “The itinerary will include workouts, golf and some Ljubljana tourism and bonding ahead of training camp.”
Doncic will reportedly foot the bill for the international excursion, as he asserts himself in a leadership role within the Lakers’ locker room. In attendance will be Bronny James, the son of the now-departed LeBron James.
The elder James left the organization for a two-year minimum deal from the Philadelphia 76ers in search of his fifth NBA championship and heading into his 24th professional season. With James’ departure from the franchise, Doncic is now the undisputed leader of the Lakers — both on and off the court.
