Luka Doncic is facing a fresh escalation in his ongoing dispute with former fiancée Anamaria Goltes, according to reports. Sources told TMZ Sports that Goltes has filed a new legal claim in Slovenia seeking a total of $50 million, approximately $40 million for herself and $10 million for their two young daughters.
The further reports stated that she is also requesting a reduction in his parenting time. Goltes and the Los Angeles Lakers star, who were together for about a decade before ending their engagement earlier this year, share two daughters: two-year-old Gabriela and seven-month-old Olivia.

The children live in Slovenia. Doncic, the former Dallas Mavericks player, currently spends at least two days a week with them. The new filing reportedly seeks to cut that to one day a week. The development comes days after Goltes withdrew a child support petition she had filed in a California court in March.
In court documents, she stated she wanted to resolve the matter “amicably and by a mutual agreement” in the best interests of the children. Doncic had argued that California was the wrong venue because the girls reside in Slovenia and he had already initiated proceedings there.
Doncic, who is currently in Slovenia to be closer to his daughters and is set to host a Lakers minicamp there later this month, has previously said he would do anything for his children and is pursuing joint custody. There was no dispute in the beginning; however, it all started ever since the former Real Madrid basketball player joined the Lakers. The case continues under Slovenian jurisdiction.
