Dirk Nowitzki ran into trouble with Cristal Taylor in the beginning of May when he learned she had used aliases and been in trouble with the law before they met. The two seemed to have a pretty normal home life in this video, but fake names and fraud charges brought those times to an end.
To make things worse for Dirk, Cristal found out she was pregnant while being processed in jail. Nowitzki feels if it’s his kid, he should have sole custody so he had paperwork filed on June 12 to make it happen.
The petitioner is identified as “D.N.,” a resident of Dallas County, according to a copy of the documents The Enterprise obtained.
Taylor’s name also is not listed.
The initials “C.T.” are used to identify the respondent.
The fact, however, that Taylor was served with the papers and that the circumstances described in them match what is known about their relationship confirms that Nowitzki is the petitioner.
I hope it’s Dirk’s kid and I hope there’s a reality show based on Dirk taking the baby with him on the road during the NBA season in the works. It would be great to watch Dirk getting instructions from Rick Carlisle in a timeout while burping his son/daughter. And the fallout after Josh Howard offers the kid some weed will be can’t miss TV.
