Key Takeaways
- Anthony Edwards asked a judge to place part of his $14,000 monthly child support payments in a trustee-managed trust, citing concerns that Alexandria Desroches could spend the money on online gambling.
- Desroches said her DraftKings bets typically totaled about $10, were “placed out of boredom,” and produced $998.20 in net activity during 2025 before she stopped using the account.
- She also said Edwards has never met their three-year-old son, Amir, or sought parenting time; the court previously based his support obligation on nearly $4.8 million in monthly income.
Anthony Edwards is asking a judge to keep part of his child support money out of the hands of his son's mother, telling the court he worries she will bet it away.
The Minnesota Timberwolves guard, 25, filed court documents requesting that a portion of his $14,000 monthly child support payments be routed into a trust managed by an appointed trustee, according to TMZ, which obtained the filing.
Edwards says in the documents that Alexandria Desroches, 27, testified she gambled through DraftKings on dozens of occasions per month during 2025, even as she argued his payments were too low.
The filing also alleges Desroches left income off her disclosures, including cash tips from a second job, and overstated expenses tied to the child. Those are allegations Edwards has put before the judge, not findings the court has made.
Desroches reportedly "scoffed" at the trust request in her response, per the court documents. She acknowledged using DraftKings but said her wagers typically ran about $10 and that she has since stopped using the account.
The bets were "placed out of boredom," she said, adding that records showed her total DraftKings activity for 2025 netted $998.20.
In the same response, Desroches said Edwards has never met their three-year-old son, Amir, in person, has not sought parenting time, and that she does not know whether he has ever sent the child a gift.
An order this past August set his obligation at just over $14,000 a month, built on a monthly income of nearly $4.8 million. The same ruling required him to take out a roughly $2.6 million life insurance policy naming Desroches as primary beneficiary and to cover more than $21,000 of her legal fees.
The new filing arrives weeks after Edwards, who has three children outside of his relationship, closed out a separate Georgia support fight with Ayesha Howard over their daughter at $3,222 a month.
