Nia Long and her ex, Ime Udoka have settled their custody battle, and the famous actress will be getting over $32,000 in monthly child support.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the former couple will share joint custody of their 12-year-old son, and Long will receive $32,500 in monthly child support.
In the settlement, negotiated by Long’s powerhouse attorney — Samantha Spector — the actress is giving her ex-boyfriend a break on support given that she is a high-earning actress and businesswoman.
The settlement states since Udoka’s monthly disposable income is $465,804, and their son resides with her 95% of the time, the payment for child support would be $56,389. However, the pair, who separated in 2022 following revelations of Udoka’s involvement with a Boston Celtics staff member, mutually agreed upon a monthly $32,500 monthly.
Regarding the timeshare, Udoka, as the head coach for the Houston Rockets, has extensive travel commitments during the season and potential post-season playoffs.
For the current 2023-2024 season, the parents agreed that, for child support calculations, Udoka has less than a 5% timeshare with their son, while Nia has approximately 95% timeshare with the 12-year-old in Los Angeles, California.
In the agreement, Udoka is entitled to reasonable visitation, taking into account the kid’s schedule and concerns but not interfering with his time with Udoka.
The parties will collaborate to facilitate the NBA coach’s visitation. Udoka will provide Long with written notice and a plan for the anticipated visit via email at least ten days beforehand.
According to the agreement, Udoka will maintain their son’s health and dental insurance, and he and Long will make decisions regarding the young lad’s health, education, and welfare collaboratively.
In cases of disagreement, Nia holds the authority to make decisions for him, with advanced notice to her former partner, except for routine and emergency medical matters.
Several months ago Nia Long filed legal documents seeking sole physical and legal custody of her son, with visitation rights for Udoka.
