Paul Pierce is no longer disputing that he is the father of infant son King Rafael.
The legal fight now centers on how much monthly support he should pay and how custody should be divided.
In newly reported court documents, the retired NBA star opposes Princess Santiago's request for $29,811 per month in child support and $100,000 toward her legal expenses.
Pierce proposes paying approximately $4,145 monthly. He argues that his current finances bear little resemblance to the earnings he received during his 19-season basketball career and says another source of income will end in September.
Pierce earned more than $200 million during his NBA career, which ended with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2017. His filing argues that those career earnings should not be treated as evidence of what he can currently afford. Pierce reported approximately $1.5 million in income for 2025 and said his earnings have steadily declined since leaving professional basketball.
