Matt Barnes should have some extra cash for awesome holiday presents after his major reduction in child support he has to pay every month!
According to court documents, obtained by The Blast, the judge in the case between Barnes and "Basketball Wives" star Gloria Govan ruled in favor of the former NBA star on his request to lower support.
As we reported, Barnes was paying $20,000 per month to Govan for the ex-couple's two sons, but Barnes claimed he couldn't afford the hefty sum after retiring from professional basketball.
He had argued to lower the support to $7,500, which would make it only $3,750 per kid, and the judge agreed. Good news for Barnes, the judge signed off and gave him the exact amount he wanted.
Not the news that Govan wanted to hear, but lucky for the reality star the reduction is only temporary while the two continue hashing out their many issues.
Along with the good news from court, Barnes is also celebrating the birth of his son, Ashton Joseph Barnes, with model Anansa Sims.
