Former Basketball Wives star Brittany Renner is asking a judge to increase her child support payments from NBA star P.J. Washington because she is running low on funds.
In court documents, Renner, 33, requested that the child support from Washington, 27, be increased from his current $5,500 per month to $35,000 per month.
According to Renner, she moved to California with their son, Paul III, in November 2024 for work, and Washington agreed to the move because he had already left North Carolina and headed to Texas.
Now she says that the $5,500 monthly payments were based on the cost of living in N.C., but Los Angeles is much higher, and now that Basketball Wives has ended, she has no other major income coming in.
“I am struggling to make ends meet and I cannot provide Paul III a life anywhere similar to that of his father,” she wrote. “To put in perspective how ridiculous current orders are, current child support payments … will comprise 0.30% of [Washington’s] monthly income. This is less than half a percent … of what [Washington] earns,” she continued, referring to Washington’s new $90 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks.
According to Renner, Washington and his wife “ have multiple luxury vehicles, constantly post their designer shopping clothes and boast about luxury vacations. They also constantly post their children wearing designer clothes,” and that “In contrast, I live in a humble Airbnb rental in West Hills and shop for Paul III’s clothes at Target.”
Brittany says the $35,000 would be used for clothes, education, a home, travel, and entertainment.
