Tristan Thompson has been paying $40,000 to Jordan Craig as child support for their son Prince. Craig wants Thompson to continue paying the same amount despite his falling annual income over the years, as his NBA fortunes have dwindled.
According to The Daily Mail, Craig filed an abstract of judgment in a Los Angeles court. It's a public record in case Thompson's child support payments are not made in the future.
The report indicated that there are no reports of the one-time NBA champion failing to pay child support recently. However, Craig made the move, as Thompson remains a free agent and won't have the same income as previous years.

Fans on social media began taking shots at Thompson, who's paying a total of $120,000 to the mothers of three of his babies.
As mentioned above, Thompson has a son named Prince with Jordan Craig. He has two children with Khloe Kardashian, a daughter, True, and a son, Tatum, as well as a son with Maralee Nichols.
One fan on Instagram reckons Craig's plan to continue receiving $40,000 in child support is karma for Thompson:
"Could this be his karma for how he's treated all the women in his life?"
Another fan wants people to stop feeling sorry for Thompson, who juggled women when he was in relationships:
"If you knew how that man played with her, then you would know not to feel any remorse for Trista."
Another fan has no problem with Jordan Craig's demands, as Tristan needs to do what's best for their son:

Tristan Thompson played for the LA Lakers last season
Tristan Thompson almost went unsigned for the entire 2022-23 NBA season. The LA Lakers signed Thompson a few days before the end of the regular season. He played six games in the Lakers' postseason run, mainly against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference finals.
Thompson looked good making things tough for Nikola Jokic. It was enough to slow down Jokic for a few minutes, but the reigning MVP, as well as the entire Nuggets team, proved to be too much for the Lakers.
The 32-year-old big man remains a free agent this summer. The latest rumors suggest that the Lakers could consider Thompson for their 14th roster spot next season.
