Share Pin 0 SharesPaul Pierce says a $30,000 monthly child support payment would not reflect his current finances as he faces a major income drop in 2026. The former Boston Celtics star opposed ex-girlfriend Princess Santiago’s request in new court filings, where she also asked for $100,000 in legal fees. Pierce proposed paying approximately $4,145 per month for their newborn son, King Rafael Santiago Pierce. According to the filing, he supports four other children and pays a combined $44,000 each month in spousal and child support. Pierce requested joint legal and physical custody, while Santiago is seeking sole custody.
