Dwight Howard’s massive monthly income was revealed as part of his bitter court battle with his ex-girlfriend Tiffany Render over their 14-year-old daughter Layla, In Touch can exclusively report.
According to court documents obtained by In Touch, Dwight’s monthly gross income was reported as being over $133,333.
Tiffany pulls in around $4,166.66 each month from her job, per the filing.
As In Touch first reported, Dwight, 38, and Tiffany faced off at a trial last month.
The exes testified in front of the judge, as did their daughter. The legal drama started in November 2023 when Dwight filed a petition to modify the custody and child support deal that had been put in place in January 2023.
Per the original deal, Tiffany had primary custody, with Dwight having secondary.
In his petition, Dwight said Tiffany should be stripped of physical custody for several reasons. He accused Tiffany of moving from Georgia, where he lived, to Florida with their daughter without telling him.
Dwight said Tiffany also allowed Layla to film a reality show that he did not approve of. Another issue he had was he didn’t approve of certain videos his daughter had posted on TikTok.
Dwight said his daughter was seen slipping off the camera, wearing inappropriate clothing and adding songs to her videos that were vulgar.
Dwight’s petition read, “[Tiffany] has demonstrated an inability to maintain a healthy home environment in which to raise the minor child.”
The petition also said, “[Tiffany] has compromised the safety and well-being of the minor child.”
Dwight asked that he be awarded primary custody and his $3,000 per month child support obligations be terminated.
Tiffany scoffed at the request to strip her of physical custody. She denied Dwight’s claims she moved without informing him.
She said they were both aware of the TikTok videos in question and handled them together.
Tiffany asked the court to deny Dwight’s petition and keep the custody and support as is.
Earlier this year, the judge awarded Dwight temporary primary physical custody but set a trial for November where both parties could make their case.
At the recent trial, Dwight testified that he believed Layla should continue to live with him. Tiffany claimed that Dwight had been “absentee” since being awarded temporary primary physical custody.
The judge did not agree with the suggestion Dwight had been “absentee.”
The court said Dwight took a recent trip without Layla but that was due to Tiffany losing the child’s passport. The judge also shut down Tiffany when she brought up Dwight being in California to film Dancing with the Stars.
“With regards to [Dwight’s] time on Dancing with the Stars, the court finds that this is a ‘one off.’ When this case started, [Tiffany] was involved in a reality show in Orange County, Florida. Those two things are equal,” the ruling said.
At the hearing, the court terminated Dwight’s obligation to pay child support and awarded him primary physical custody. The court said it would not award Dwight child support from Tiffany due to the “disparity of income between the parties.”
The judge noted that Dwight owed no duty to support Tiffany, only Layla.
