Ex-NBA Star Paul Pierce’s Ex Takes Him Back To Court Over Allegedly Late $8,508 Child Support Payment Despite His Claims Of Money Troubles

Paul Pierce’s ex, Princess Santiago, wasted no time taking their child support dispute back to court after claiming the former NBA star missed his latest payment.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Santiago alleges Pierce failed to deliver the $8,508 payment due November 1 for their son, King Rafael Santiago Pierce.

Rather than waiting for the money, Santiago filed a motion demanding immediate payment, along with an additional $4,000 to cover her legal expenses.

She also accused the former Boston Celtics star of “gamesmanship,” alleging he has repeatedly paid late, refused to send payments directly to her, and failed to cover a court-ordered forensic accountant tasked with examining his finances.

Santiago maintains that the money is necessary to cover their son’s housing and everyday living expenses.

However, Pierce’s attorney, Tamar G. Arminak, insists the November payment has already been handled.

“The allegation is false. He has paid November child support.”

The latest court drama comes shortly after Pierce revealed that his finances have taken a significant hit since losing his position at Fox Sports.

In October, the NBA champion reportedly told the court his monthly income had dropped from approximately $119,000 to $23,000, leaving him struggling to keep up with his financial obligations.

Despite those claims, Santiago is pushing for Pierce to meet his court-ordered responsibilities.

While his attorney maintains the November support has been paid, Santiago’s latest filing shows their financial dispute is far from settled.
