A former stripper wants sole custody of her 2-month-old girl because the child’s NBA star-dad is too busy on the court to be a parent, according to court papers.
Attorneys for Indiana Pacers forward Paul George revealed his ex-lover’s previously sealed paternity lawsuit when they moved the case to federal court on Monday.
George “is not capable of the care of the child … due to, among other things, his professional obligations, his lifestyle and his residency away from the child,” baby mama Daniela Rajic says in the legal filing.
The buxom brunette met the single George in Miami where she had danced at Tootsie’s Cabaret.
She “had intercourse with [George] on several occasions covering a period of time which includes all possible dates of conception, including, but not limited to August 2012, and a result [Rajic] became pregnant,” the 24-year-old says in the suit.
Olivia George was born on May 1, 2014 at Weill Cornell Medical Center. Her birth certificate, attached as an exhibit to the suit, does not name the father.
The full-time mom now lives in Middle Village, Queens while George, 24, is based in Indianapolis.
George requested the change in venue from a state to a federal court because they live in different states and the amount of money at issue exceeds the federal limit of $75,000.
Rajic also says her hoopster ex has never met his baby girl.
She wants an unspecified amount of child support and a court-ordered paternity test.
The 6-foot-9-inch baller is expected to pull in over $3.3 million this year.
Although Rajic already had a DNA test performed that says George is Olivia’s father, a spokesman for the player said he is awaiting “legal confirmation” of paternity.
If that comes, “I will fully embrace my responsibilities,” George said in a statement.
He has already “acknowledged that he is the father of the child verbally,” Rajic says in her suit. He also “paid various medical and other expenses” related to the pregnancy.
A rep for George said, “This is a routine paternity case, but perhaps someone finds it unusual that a high profile athlete is willing to accept responsibility and provide emotional and financial support for a child once it is legally determined to be his.”
