Trevor Ariza Seeks Child Support Reduction Amid Financial Struggles

Trevor Ariza, the former NBA player, is reportedly seeking a reduction in his child support payments, claiming financial distress. It raises eyebrows that a player once earning millions now faces such monetary challenges. Ariza, a 2009 NBA champion who accumulated over $116 million during his 18-year career, is grappling with severe financial difficulties. Court documents linked to his divorce from Bree Anderson reveal that Ariza has been unemployed since retiring, boasting no monthly income. He is depleting his retirement savings to manage day-to-day expenses while neglecting to file taxes since 2022. Ariza currently pays $14,000 monthly in child support to Bree and additional sums for other expenses, all while confronting a staggering negative bank balance of $230,000 and a $4.7 million loss in property value. Additionally, he assumes full responsibility for their son, Tristan, expressing frustrations regarding his estranged relationship with their daughter. Ariza appeals for the court to reassess support terms given his changed financial situation.
