Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been ordered to pay $14,000 a month in child support for his son, Amir, following a court ruling involving Alexandria Descroches.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the monthly support obligation was calculated in part using Edwards’ reported income of nearly $4.8 million per month.
The amount represents a significant increase from the roughly $3,200 baseline child-support figure previously associated with the case.
The case concerns Edwards and Descroches’ son, Amir, who was born in 2023. Court documents reportedly state that Edwards testified under oath that he has never met the child in person and is not seeking parenting time.
Descroches reportedly earns approximately $1,016 per month and told the court that she hopes to complete her college education to improve her ability to financially support her son.
The court also considered Edwards’ substantial income and reported monthly expenses when determining the support amount.
In addition to the $14,000 monthly child-support payment, the ruling requires Edwards to maintain a life-insurance policy worth approximately $2.6 million, with Descroches named as the primary beneficiary. He was also ordered to cover more than $21,000 in her legal expenses.
The ruling adds to Edwards’ existing financial obligations involving his children. In a separate Georgia case, a judge recently ordered him to pay $3,222 per month in child support for his daughter with Ayesha Howard.
That brings his documented monthly child-support obligations to more than $17,000.
Edwards, 25, is in the midst of a five-year, $244.6 million contract with the Timberwolves. His reported monthly income includes his NBA salary as well as endorsement and investment income.
Neither Edwards nor his representatives had publicly commented on the latest ruling in the reports reviewed for this story.
