NBA star Anthony Edwards has been ordered to pay $14,000 per month in child support for his son, Amir, following a court ruling involving his former partner Alexandria Desroches. The decision also includes a $2.6 million life insurance requirement and legal fees.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been ordered to pay $14,000 a month in child support to Alexandria Desroches for their son, Amir, who was born in 2023. Court documents reportedly show that the amount was based partly on Edwards’ monthly income of nearly $4.8 million, making the award substantially higher than the baseline figure of around $3,200.
The court also ordered Edwards to obtain a life insurance policy worth approximately $2.6 million, naming Desroches as the primary beneficiary. In addition, he was ordered to cover more than $21,000 in her legal fees. Desroches reportedly earns about $1,016 per month and told the court she hopes to complete her college education to improve her ability to support their child.
One of the most notable details in the case is Edwards’ relationship with Amir. According to the court documents, Edwards acknowledged under oath that he has never met his son in person and is not seeking parenting time. The ruling adds another chapter to the NBA star’s increasingly public family and legal matters.
