Paul Pierce Ordered to Pay Temporary Child Support
Paul Pierce has been ordered to pay Princess Santiago $8,508 per month in temporary child support for their son, King Rafael.
Santiago filed the parentage case before King was born and initially requested $29,811 per month. The judge also ordered Pierce to contribute $100,000 toward her legal fees and $10,000 for a forensic accountant. The monthly amount could change as the case continues.
