Overview

  • In July 2025 Ariza filed a petition to cut his $14,000 monthly child support to ex-wife Bree along with existing $10,000 in other child support and $4,000 in spousal support.
  • The 18-season NBA veteran reported a $230,000 negative bank balance and multimillion-dollar property value shortfall despite career earnings exceeding $116 million.
  • Court disclosures list assets of $438,278 in cash, $1.9 million in stocks and bonds, and $6 million in real and personal property, including his NBA 401(k) and car collection.
  • His monthly expenses top $37,000, driven by an $18,800 mortgage, $4,300 in auto costs, $3,300 in car loans, $2,000 on groceries, and $2,000 toward education.
  • Having skipped tax filings since 2022 and now serving as his son’s primary caregiver, Ariza’s case illustrates the cash-flow challenges athletes face after retirement.
