Trevor Ariza of the Portland Trail Blazers is currently in the midst of a custody battle with the mother of his child, Lana Allen. Ariza has a 12-year-old son with Allen and according to TMZ, Allen is seeking full custody of the child while also demanding a restraining order. Allen is alleging that Ariza has been abusive to their child on more than one occasion and that the child is &#8220;not safe in his care.&#8221;
Ariza has denied all of these allegations and is looking to make sure he is able to still have custody of his 12-year-old. In court documents, Ariza alleged that Allen is doing this as a way to manipulate their child. &#8220;What is occurring here is in fact [Allen&#8217;s] abuse of the minor child by her relentless, cruel loyalty conflict for [the child], alienation campaign and selfishly driven attempts to interfere in father and son&#8217;s relationship,&#8221; Ariza said.
