Weeks after her sister, Kai Cyre, 31, referred to as out the NBA participant, 32, slamming him as an absentee father after Kim Kardashian, 43, praised his parenting on an episode of The Kardashians, Jordan, 32, is requesting his earnings from the Cleveland Cavaliers be garnished.
After agreeing on a toddler help plan in early 2019, Tristan started paying $40,000 per thirty days in April of that 12 months. However, in line with a September 13 declaration obtained by Daily Mail, Tristan began making “either partial payments or missing child support payments altogether” in November 2022.

As Tristan stays behind in his funds, Jordan hopes to get an order into place that can withhold Tristan’s earnings in the quantity of $80,000 a month — and “stay in effect until the arrears are satisfied.”
“It is my belief that Tristan signed a ‘veteran’s minimum’ contract with the Cavaliers that pays him $2.7 million per year. The $80,000 request is certainly less than half of his monthly salary,” she wrote.

“When he saw me struggling with my kids, he stepped up. He started showing up to the games. He picked Saint up. Takes them to dinner and will always come to my defense, especially if it’s stuff with me and my ex and I just never forgot that,” she continued. “So it’s like, I’ll never really throw someone away and act like I feel like they can’t grow and evolve.”
But after the episode aired, Kai clapped again, claiming Tristan, who additionally shares one-year-old son Theo with ex Maralee Nichols, is much from a stellar guardian.
“Tristan has not paid that child support in a very long time and has stopped paying Prince’s school tuition,” Kai wrote on Instagram. “Yet he’s being applauded for pickup up/dropping off other kids to school/activities. He hasn’t even inquired where Prince goes to school now. Despite it all, my sister continues to work multiple jobs as she has since she was 16-years-old, so that Prince will never have to feel a difference. But regardless, stepping up for your son is not all about money it’s about the time spent.”
“[Tristan Thompson],” she added, “you are NOT a good father if you can’t be a good father to ALL of your children.”
