Dallas Mavericks’ PJ Washington Accuses Ex Brittany Renner of Threatening to Serve Him Court Papers at NBA Game (Exclusive)

Renner’s lawyer noted that he remained hopeful that he would not have to “resort” to these “measures to avoid the unnecessary and inevitable press coverage Mr. Washington will receive as a result.” In the filing, Renner’s legal team argued that since Washington played a number of games in California during the NBA season, he did indeed have ties to California. His team disagrees.

Renner’s attorney continued, “In good faith, to avoid any negative press for Mr. Washington and to prevent attorney’s fees from ballooning, we respectfully request that Mr. Washington [agree to the case being moved to California].”

“Please review the same with Mr. Washington and provide an executed version to my office by no later than November 18, 2025. If we do not receive a signed Stipulation and Order by November 18th, I will have no choice but to purchase the visitor-bench tickets for the November 28th game against the Lakers and the November 29th game against the Clippers,” the letter ended.

As Us first reported, in her California case, Renner demanded an increase to the $5,500 per month that Washington paid in child support for their 4-year-old son, Paul III. She believed the amount should be $35,000, due to her expenses being higher after moving from North Carolina to Los Angeles. She also noted that she did not have a steady income after leaving Basketball Wives.

“I am struggling to make ends meet and I cannot provide Paul III a life anywhere similar to that of his father,” Renner said, “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.”

In response, Washington claimed he had already settled the issue of child support in their previous court battle filed in North Carolina.

He claimed Renner agreed that $5,500 was sufficient for their child’s needs. Per the deal, the exes agreed to share joint custody.

Washington told the court that less than one year after reaching the deal over support, Renner was in a Los Angeles courtroom demanding a massive increase.

In his response, Washington claimed Paul III was conceived in North Carolina, not California. “I did not engage in sexual intercourse in California that might have caused Brittany’s pregnancy with Paul III,” he alleged. “Paul III was conceived in North Carolina. During the entire period of my relationship with Brittany, we visited California together only once, for a couple of days.”

Washington wrote, “I do not, and have never consented for a California court to modify the child support order entered by the North Carolina court.

The case is ongoing.
