NBA star Anthony Edwards recently scored a major court win against his ex Ayesha Howard. A California judge granted his petition to move her child support case to Georgia.
Judges in Georgia are notorious for siding with the father in child support cases. The average child support payment in Georgia is $2,000 a month – regardless of the father’s net worth.

Anthony’s complicated legal battles with his baby mamas include a recent case filed by Daja Carlyle, the mother of his 2-year-old daughter, Aris.

According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Anthony, 23, filed a petition for custody, parenting time and child support for Aris on February 20, 2024.

In the filing, He said he was the biological father of Aris, born in 2023. He said Daja did not list his name as the father on the birth certificate. Anthony asked the court to award him joint legal and physical custody of their daughter, and to set the amount of child support.

In her filing, Daja admitted that the NBA star was the father of her daughter, and that they weren’t married.

The beauty influencer asked the court to set child support but she opposed Anthony’s request for joint legal and physical custody of their daughter. Daja asked the court to award her primary physical custody with Anthony having some reasonable visitations.

In a scene from Netflix’s “STARTING 5,” Anthony gushed about becoming a dad for the first time at age 19.

“That’s my little girl,” he said, while cradling Aris in his arms. “I’ve got to pick her up and walk around with her and hold her and talk to her.”

But Anthony and Daja soon fell out and stopped speaking.

In April 2024, Anthony filed a motion asking the court to prevent Daja from contacting his people.

“There is no rhyme or reason for [Daja] to contact individuals who work for [Anthony]. They do not work for her, they do not answer to her and they are not there for her to communicate with, nor do they want to speak with her,” Anthony’s lawyer said. “They are also not involved in these [court] proceedings.”

His lawyer continued, “Due to the conduct that is taking place, there is an urgent need for the Court to intervene to prevent ongoing and future harm and harassment to the Father and his associates.”

Court documents show Anthony voluntarily paid Daja $5,000 a month in temporary child support. He asked the court to set a child support amount of $3,222 a month based on Daja’s monthly income of $8,000.

“There has been no indication that the monthly $5,000 the Mother receives, which is already in excess of the presumptive amount, does not support or fulfill the minor child’s needs,” Anthony’s lawyer told the court.

The court recently closed the case after a final consent agreement was entered by both parties. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but sources say Anthony’s motion for $3,222 in monthly child support was granted.
