*Former NBA star Dwight Howard has been awarded primary custody of his 13-year-old daughter, Layla.
Last summer, Howard and his ex, Tiffany Render, reached a child support settlement after he requested a decrease in payments. According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the monthly payments were lowered from $12k to $3k.
In his petition over child support, Howard noted, “there has been a significant change” in his income.
Howard’s legal filing in family court late last year sought to terminate his $3,000 a-month child support and award him primary custody of Layla. On January 9, the judge agreed and issued a temporary order in the child custody case, Radar reports.
The judge also terminated Howard’s child support obligations.

Howard and Render initially agreed that she would have primary custody and he would have secondary custody. However, in November 2023, he filed a petition to strip her of full-time parentalship, Radar reports.
Here’s more from the outlet:
The ex-NBA star accused Render of moving from Georgia to Florida without informing him in July 2023. He said his ex, “failed and refused to provide access to the Minor Child and failed and refused to discuss, in good faith, the Minor Child’s relocation, unenrollment in her prior school or enrollment in her new school in Florida.”
In addition, Howard said their daughter had posted a series of “inappropriate” videos on TikTok where she flipped off the camera as well as videos where she was “scantily clad and/or in age-inappropriate clothing, with vulgar, sexual songs playing in the background, wherein which the Minor Child is making sexually inappropriate gestures and innuendo.”
Howard was awarded primary custody of his teen daughter after accusing “Render of exploiting their daughter by allowing her to appear on the reality show Basketball Wives Orlando,” per RadarOnline.
