Tristan Thompson has been accused of failing to meet his $40,000 monthly child support payments to his first baby, Jordan Craig.
Craig, who shares six-year-old Prince with the basketball player, reportedly filed an order to withhold income for support, asking the court to order the Cleveland Cavaliers to stop paying him Thompson’s salary until the debt is paid in full.
Tristan Thompson Reportedly Owes Over $200,000 In Child Support Payments
In September, Craig filed to garnish her ex-boyfriend’s huge paycheck, claiming that the NBA player began “making either partial payments or missing child support payments altogether” in November 2022.

According to reports, Tristan, who also shares two children with Khloe Kardashian, was ordered in April 2019 to pay his first baby mama $40,000 on the first day of every month until their child turns 18, as is the case in every child support case.
However, the mother of one claimed that Thomspon started defaulting in November 2022 when he only paid half of the amount. The following month he immediately paid the full amount but in January 2023, he claimed the father of four had not paid a penny.
He continued to make partial payments of $14,500 from February 2023 until August 2023 when he made his highest payment of $29,000. Over nine months, Thompson paid only $136,000 in child support payments, leaving $224,000 unaccounted for.
In his filing, obtained by the Daily Mail, Craig claims that the court issued a WRIT of Execution for $232,763.97 in child support arrears. However, that doesn’t seem to do anything. However, with Thompson’s recent September contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Craig believes now is the time for Thomspon to pay his dues.
“It is my understanding that Tristan recently signed an employment contract with a professional sports team, the Cleveland Cavaliers located in Cleveland, Ohio. I sought to garnish a portion of his wages to pay the arrears he owed me,” he wrote in the filing.
Jordan asked the court to order the Cavaliers to withhold $80,000 of Thompson’s salary until the child support arrears are paid in full. On his reasons for choosing that particular amount each month, the social media influencer wrote,
“It is my belief that Tristan signed a “veteran minimum” contract with the Cavaliers that pays him $2.7 million per year. The $80,000 I’m asking for is definitely less than half of his monthly salary.”
Thomspon returned to the Cavaliers last month after spending the first nine NBA seasons of his career with them. He was instrumental in helping the team win their first NBA championship in 2016 and is somewhat of a legend.
