India, July 31 -- Former NBA star Paul Pierce has challenged his ex-partner Princess Santiago's request for $30,000 per month in child support, arguing that his financial situation is expected to change significantly this year. According to reports, Pierce believes his income will decline, making the amount sought by Santiago unreasonable.

Court documents also show that Pierce is opposing Santiago's request for an additional $100,000 in legal fees related to the ongoing case.
