A cubist interpretation of the legal battle over child support obligations between an NBA player and the mother of his child.Beverly Hills TodayAyesha Howard, the mother of NBA player Anthony Edwards’ 5-month-old daughter Aubri’ Summers, has filed a court affidavit alleging that Edwards ‘intentionally concealed’ California-based financial assets when she previously pursued child support payments from him in 2024. Howard claims Edwards misrepresented his ties to the state to ‘evade’ his child support obligations.
Why it matters
This case highlights the challenges some parents face in ensuring full financial support for their children, especially when a parent is accused of hiding assets or misrepresenting their financial situation. It also raises questions about the enforcement of child support orders and the ability of courts to compel out-of-state parents to meet their obligations.
The details
In an April 2026 court filing, Howard alleges that Edwards, 24, had multiple assets in California, including a business, bank account, and trademarks, that he ‘intentionally omitted and concealed’ during previous child support proceedings in 2024. She claims Edwards falsely testified that he had no substantial business presence in California, allowing him to argue the state’s courts lacked jurisdiction over him. However, Howard says she later discovered evidence of Edwards’ California-based finances, which she included in the new affidavit.
- In 2024, Howard first petitioned the court for a child support order from Edwards.
- In April 2026, Howard filed a new affidavit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, alleging Edwards had hidden California-based assets.
- In August 2025, Howard says she discovered evidence of Edwards’ previously concealed California assets, including a business and bank account.
