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.
Anderson wants Ariza's child support to be enough to keep providing her with a mansion, luxury cars, private staff and more.
