Trevor Ariza Reportedly Going Broke Since Leaving NBA, Can’t Afford Child Support
Trevor Ariza, who retired from the NBA in 2022, can no longer afford to pay for his once-lavish lifestyle and is pleading for lower child support payments, according to RadarOnline.
Ariza, 37, is going through a heated divorce with estranged wife Bree Anderson, who demands that child support be enough to maintain the fancy life he gave her while married.
The former Los Angeles Lakers player claims to no longer have an average monthly income and is living off a non-recurring, lump sum payment of $418 thousand from the NBA, plus $4,000 from a property he rents.
Ariza’s monthly expenses include, but are not limited to: $13 thousand for mortgage, $13 thousand in child support for his other son, $14 thousand on several vehicles and $19 thousand on “other” stuff.
The “other” stuff consists of what he pays his personal assistant, basketball training for his children, massages, boxing classes, self-care and $2,500 to his girlfriend.
Ariza hopes that providing his monthly expenses to the judge will help him settle the child support payments at a much lower number.
Trevor Ariza is Unemployed
“I am in the process of reducing my monthly expenses as I am now unemployed and cannot maintain my former lifestyle,” Ariza wrote, per RadarOnline.
Ariza, who claims to have only earned $61 thousand this year, has several investments and made over $115 million in nearly 20 years playing professional basketball.
Anderson wants Ariza’s child support to be enough to keep providing her with a mansion, luxury cars, private staff and more.
She also obtained a a restraining order against Ariza for allegedly showing up to her residence unannounced and claims he physically abused her for years.
Ariza denies all the accusations and states she was the abusive partner in their relationship. They’ll face each other in court later this month.
