Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić files an international petition seeking to have his two daughters brought from Slovenia to the United States amid an ongoing custody dispute. Dončić says in a statement that he wants both parents to be present in their daughters’ lives and that he will “do whatever it takes” to ensure this.
Several outlets report the filing is made under the Hague Convention framework used to organize or secure a parent’s rights of access to a child. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports describe the petition as submitted through established international legal channels, while The Athletic and Times of India emphasize Dončić’s stated goal of maintaining an active role in his daughters’ upbringing. Times of India also notes that Slovenian court proceedings and efforts toward a collaborative custody arrangement continue, alongside Dončić’s basketball commitments.
Outlets differ mainly in focus: some highlight the procedural basis of the petition, while others foreground Dončić’s message about family access and his view of the need for both parents. None of the sources provide a court outcome or the other side’s response in the reports summarized here.
