Tristan Thompson paid the hefty $40,000 monthly child support payments to his first baby mom, Jordan Briani Craig – and now she wants to make sure the settlement is finalized, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Oddly enough, on Aug. 9 in Los Angeles, Craig filed an “abstract of judgment,” a document used to create a public record in the event that the debt—in this case, the payment of child support—is not settled. fulfilled.
There was no indication that she has not received her monthly stipend from the NBA star.

DailyMail.com can reveal the NBA star has been spending $40,000 a month on six-year-old Prince since 2019
However, the filing comes as Thompson has seen his income decline in the years since the support scheme for their six-year-old son Prince was reached.
The original agreement dates back to 2019, when the 32-year-old athlete played with the Cleveland Cavaliers, earning an annual salary of $17.7 million.
Since then, however, the basketball star has seen his family grow — with three more children by two different women — and his annual salary drop to $9.2 million.
Craig started dating Thompson in 2014, but their two-year relationship turned sour and ended when the lothario got involved with Khloe Kardashian.
The young mother was pregnant with Prince and, as previously alleged in court papers, was still in a relationship with Thompson when he began dating Khloe in 2016.
Thompson now shares two children with Kardashian: five-year-old daughter True, and one-year-old son Tatum, who was conceived via IVF in November 2021, just weeks before the birth of his third child, whom he shares with fitness model Maralee Nichols.

The 32-year-old was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, presumably to be closer to Khloe, with whom he welcomed their second child, Tatum, last year.

Craig, who dated Thompson from 2014 to 2016, was pregnant with Prince and, as previously alleged in court papers, was still in a relationship with the athlete when he began dating Khloe Kardashian.
The baby boy, Theo, was born in December 2021.
Thompson reportedly paid a total of $120,000 in monthly child support for all three wives.
He was previously involved in a months-long paternity battle against Nichols in 2022 to determine if he was Theo’s biological father.
Nichols also sued Thompson for child support, claiming he allegedly offered her $75,000 in exchange for her silence.
Thompson was released in January 2022 after paternity testing identified him as Theo’s biological father and he publicly apologized to Khloe via social media.
The case settled last December, when he agreed to pay $9,500 a month in child support and Nichols was awarded sole custody.

He also partially covered Nichols’ legal costs during their settlement case and was officially named as the father on the birth certificate.
At the time, Thompson was not signed to a team that was not earning an income.
Earlier this year in April, Thompson was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, presumably to be closer to Khloe.
The father-of-four started dating Khloe in 2017, when Jordan was still pregnant with their son Prince.
The ruling ordered Thompson to pay $50,000 for Craig’s attorneys’ fees as part of their 2019 settlement.
