Tristan Thompson Clears $224K Back Child Support to Ex Jordan Craig, Then Secures $1M Loan for New LA Mansion.
Tristan Thompson has cleared his debts with his ex-partner Jordan Craig before securing a $1 million loan against his home in Los Angeles. In 2023, the NBA star reportedly owed $224,000 in overdue child support for their eight-year-old son, Prince.
However, it seems he has resolved the issues with Jordan for the benefit of their child. A document from the Los Angeles Recorder's Office, identifies Tristan as the judgment debtor and Jordan as the judgment creditor.
The release document indicates that "all matured installments" on the judgment were settled as of August 1, 2024. The judgment was originally issued in 2019, and Thompson's current residence is noted as his new mansion in Hidden Hills. Records related to their child support dispute appear to be sealed. According to previous reports from the Daily Mail, Tristan, 33, began falling behind on child support payments in November 2022.
He was only contributing half of the agreed $40,000 monthly payment established in court in 2019. Jordan claimed he made partial payments totaling $14,500 from February to August 2023, with his largest payment reaching $29,000.
Court Dispute In court documents obtained by the outlet, she alleged that he owed approximately $224,000 and requested that the court withhold his monthly earnings until the debt was cleared. Jordan stated in his filings, "I believe Tristan signed a 'veteran’s minimum' contract with the Cavaliers, which pays him $2.7 million annually.
"The request for $80,000 is definitely less than half of his monthly income." The team re-signed the star this past September. While the outcome of the case remains unclear, it seems the debt has now been resolved. Lawyer Monthly has reached out to both Jordan's attorney and Tristan's representative for comments.
