About Ayesha Howard's child support fight with Anthony Edwards

Per In Touch, the star player is not willing to share child custody. On the other hand, he is fine with taking care of the financial matters.

According to a Sportskeeda report, he stated,

"I am not seeking child custody or visitation of Aubri. Therefore, the only issues to be resolved are financial in nature."

Ayesha filed a paternity suit against Anthony after their daughter's birth. She filed it at a California court to get child support from the kid's biological father. After the California court, Anthony filed a suit in a Georgia court. Ayesha relocated to California before her daughter's birth. Per The SportsRush, Edwards added that she made the change in her location for more child support.

His lawyer stated,

"Conduct here is unjustifiable and a bad faith attempt to obtain a higher child support order."

The statement also emphasized how no one should tolerate the influencer's

"conduct of manufacturing a false reality and using the parties’ child for financial gains."

In between these ongoing lawsuits and legal proceedings, Edwards mentioned that the influencer danced at a strip club in Atlanta, and she continued to do so till January last year. However, Howard responded to the claim and stated that she never worked in Georgia. Also, more than ten years have passed since she last had ties with a club.
