Dallas Mavericks forward PJ Washington is often in the spotlight for his play or his four-year, $90 million deal. However, this time, the attention is off the court. Washington is in an ongoing legal dispute with his former partner over child support and custody, and the case has reached a notable turning point.

The latest development brings renewed focus to a situation that has unfolded publicly and carries clear personal weight. The 27-year-old recently made allegations, filing in North Carolina, where the original agreement for their four-year-old son, Paul III, was established.

“According to the documents obtained by US Weekly, Washington’s attorney described an email from Renner’s lawyer dated Nov. 14, 2025, outlining plans to purchase tickets to Mavericks games against the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 28 and the Clippers on Nov. 29,” the report stated.

“The email specified seats behind the visitor’s bench for the Lakers game at $2,317 each and courtside options for the Clippers matchup exceeding $2,000 per ticket, with intentions to buy multiple seats to ensure service could be executed,” it further claimed.

The Black Sports Online publication claimed that Washington’s filing categorized this move of Brittany Renner as trying to threaten him at one of his games as a “blatant threat” and “fear tactics,” designed to coerce him to agree to jurisdiction in California. As we mentioned, the original case was filed in North Carolina, but Renner wanted it to be transferred to California.

That’s because she wants a rise in her child support from $5,500 per month to $35,000 to afford her high cost of living in California. So, she tried to make PJ Washington at the Dallas recent NBA matchup against the Lakers, which might’ve backfired. Nonetheless, this isn’t the only wild act that Renner and Washington have been involved in the past few months.

Although Brittany Renner and PJ Washington have been separated for years, the Mavs superstar still seems to be connected with his son, for whom both are engaged in a legal battle. However, during one of those visits, things took an ugly turn. The Dallas Mavericks forward recently showed up at Renner’s house to pick up his son during a custodial swap when Renner started recording.

“Every single time,” she said as their son Paul III kept crying in the background. The influencer called out Washington for not been an active father, as she yelled at him to show beyond doing the bare minimum for their child. As the tension further escalated, the 27-year-old star started taking his son to the car. Meanwhile, Brittany Renner and her mom, as seen continuously yelling at the forward and his wife.

This finally led to the forward snapping and yelling, “Suck my d–k” to Renner’s mother. To which she replied, “If I had one, I would.” However, even then, the altercation did not seem to settle down as the Washington drove out of the driveway, Renner yelled, “$170,000 to your h-e with $11,000 in your son’s bank account.”

Renner has spoken about her financial struggles several times, claiming that the child support she receives is not enough to manage her and her kid’s lifestyle. Nonetheless, while this saga goes on, it will be worth watching what ruling the court gives after hearing from both sides, as we all eagerly await the final decision.
