Tristan Thompson ‘pays $1.9M a year’ in child support to baby mamas Khloe Kardashian, Maralee Nichols & Jordan Craig
TRISTAN Thompson will pay an estimated staggering '$1.9 million a year in child support' between Khloe Kardashian, Maralee Nicols and Jordan Craig.
The 31-year-old is about to welcome his fourth child, and his second with Khloe, 38, via surrogate.
Tristan was ordered to pay Jordan $40,000 a month in child support for their son Prince, 5, in 2019.
He is currently facing off with baby mama number 3, Maralee, in court where she is demanding $47,000 a month from the basketball star.
Family law expert, Bryan Konoski told The Sun that he expects Tristan is already shelling out $40,000 a month to Khloe for their daughter True, 4, and he expects the NBA star to do the same for their soon-to-be-born second child.
"Tristan is going to end up paying about $40,000 a month in child support for each kid. That's going to put him out for around $1.9 million a year," the legal expert estimates.

"With Tristan taking home around $10 million a year, he will be shelling out 20 percent of his salary. That is an insane amount of money!" Bryan added.
“He is paying out the nose for these kids!
“If he is paying $40,000 to Marlee and Jordan he is doing the same for Khloe's children.
“He wouldn't have been able to get it reduced because she is worth more," Bryan added.
BABY WITH MARALEE
Back in December, Maralee gave birth to her son with the NBA player.
Tristan was in an exclusive relationship with Khloe when the baby was conceived.
In January, New York marriage lawyer Morghan Leia Richardson told that Tristan will have to pay up until the newborn turns 18.
She said: "In looking at a support award, the court will review both parents’ monthly incomes, and the amount of time that the child spends with each parent," the attorney said.
"All income, including money/wages, tips, commissions, bonuses, unemployment benefits, interest income, dividend income, rental income, insurance payouts – all of it is fair game for calculating child support.
"For awards where the parties earn extremely high incomes, such as Tristian, the court will plug the numbers into the support calculator, but also consider several other factors.
"One argument for a larger award would be to ensure that the child has the same or similar lifestyle in both homes."
PRINCE'S CHILD SUPPORT
Before Tristan welcomed daughter True, three, with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, his ex Jordan gave birth to their son Prince, five.
Tristan must pay the child support until Prince turns 18, or until his son "graduates from high school or becomes self-supporting, emancipated or ordered by the court."
He must also pay $2,000 for Prince's private tutor, while Tristan will also be responsible to pay for his son's education if he attends private school.

However, the tutor payments will be terminated if Tristan and Jordan choose to send Prince to a private school.
Additionally, Tristan had to send over a one time payment of $10,000 to help with the medical bills Jordan racked up during her pregnancy.
