Anthony Edwards' baby mamas aren't squabbling ... in fact, one of them is publicly saying she loves how much child support the other is getting from the NBA star.

Ayesha Howard -- the mother of Anthony's one-year-old daughter -- tells TMZ ... she's extremely happy for Alexandria Desroches and her son because they "defeated an inactive father" who she says was trying to provide only $3,222 of monthly support.

That number is important ... because, as we reported, it's the amount a judge decided Anthony should pay Ayesha in a default judgment when she didn't show up to trial or provide evidence to back up her claims.

Ayesha says her child support amount doesn't reflect a final support order, and she will continue to fight for herself and her daughter -- but, right now, she just wants to "celebrate [her] sister ALLY!"

Some of the money Chris Brown is pulling in from his uber-successful nationwide tour with Usher could land in his former housekeeper's pockets soon ... a Los Angeles judge ruled she has a right to collect her judgment from what he's bringing in on tour, TMZ has learned.

Court docs obtained by TMZ reveal the judge presiding over Maria Avila's lawsuit granted her request to assign money Chris gets from royalties and tour income to her to satisfy the $13 million judgment she won in her dog attack case against him.

Chris objected to the request, but the judge apparently wasn't swayed.

Unclear if Chris will ask for reconsideration or appeal the ruling.

As TMZ first reported, Chris was ordered to pay Maria the 8-figure sum after she won her lawsuit over a vicious dog attack at his L.A. home in 2020.

Daveigh Chase's father wants a judge to deny her mother's request to be appointed as the administrator of her 6-figure estate ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, John Schwallier opposes Cathy Chase's motion to be appointed the administrator of the 'Ring' star's estate.

Instead, the docs say Schwallier nominated a woman named Megan Boling -- who describes herself as a neutral licensed professional fiduciary -- to object to Cathy's petition and take on the job instead. If that's denied, the docs request the appointment of a public administrator.

The docs note Daveigh was emancipated from Cathy as a minor due to "allegations of financial irregularities" by Cathy ... and they were "separated" ever since.

The filing says Daveigh was actually "estranged" from both parents at the time of her death, which is why a neutral administrator should be in charge.

Alexandria was asking for a higher amount in child support.

The docs say Alexandria pulls in around $1,016 per month. She testified that she hopes to complete her college education to better support the child.

Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend Brian Hickerson faced serious money issues during their on-again, off-again relationship ... TMZ has learned.

He said his monthly expenses totaled $1,248 per month, but his average monthly income was zero. Brian listed his assets as a 1990 Ford Bronco with 160k miles worth $3k, an "inoperable" 2008 Toyota Prius worth $2k, a Harley-Davidson worth $3k, and a Chevrolet Silverado truck worth $8k. Brian said the truck was his dad’s, but it was in his name.

Slash says his business manager accidentally overpaid spousal support to his ex-wife ... to the tune of a whopping $1.5 million ... and now he wants a judge to let him deduct it from future payments.

Big development in the NBA’s long-running investigation into the Kawhi Leonard salary-cap scandal ... and it’s good news for billionaire Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, at least according to ESPN.

But the NBA is pushing back, saying the story "contains numerous and significant inaccuracies."

Luigi Mangione's legal defense fundraiser is still going strong despite his recent guilty plea in the federal case tied to the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ... and GiveSendGo says there's a simple reason why.

A GiveSendGo spokesperson tells TMZ the fundraiser was created to cover Mangione's legal defense costs across three separate cases and remains active because he still faces unresolved legal matters.

As you know ... Mangione pleaded guilty Friday to two federal stalking charges related to Thompson's death. He is still facing a separate New York state case, and his federal sentencing is scheduled for December 18.

The GiveSendGo spokesperson explains the platform's policy requires money raised through legal-defense fundraisers involving violent or weapons-related charges to be received by a licensed attorney or law firm. In Mangione's case, the spokesperson says the guilty plea does not change the status of the fundraiser while his remaining cases are active.

The spokesperson also stresses that keeping the fundraiser online should not be interpreted as an endorsement of Mangione, his alleged actions or his public statements ... adding "Hosting a fundraiser has never been an endorsement of a person, their actions, or their public statements."

GiveSendGo also says it doesn't decide who deserves financial support, and leaves that decision to individual donors.

The fundraiser has drawn continued contributions from supporters even after Mangione's guilty plea. As we previously reported ... donations increased by roughly $1,000 in the hours following his court appearance -- and another roughly $3,000 has been raised since then.

Luigi Mangione's supporters are still throwing money at his defense ... even though he pleaded guilty to stalking charges this morning in his federal case.

We've learned that -- in the last few hours -- Luigi's GiveSendGo fund for his legal fees increased by about $1,000.

Fans are also sharing their love and support for Luigi in the comments section of the fundraiser ... leaving posts like, "He did what he had to do today, what he thought was best for him. We're still here with you, Luigi" and "You'll see the outside world again one day, I know you will. I'll keep writing to you."

Abby Elliott's estranged husband wants her to cut him monthly checks ... as their bitter divorce heats up and they fight over finances.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Bill Kennedy filed a response to her divorce petition ... and he's requesting spousal support.

Bill, who was married to Abby for a decade, is also asking to block the court's ability to award spousal support to her. He also asks that Abby pay his attorneys' fees.

He wants joint legal and physical custody of their two children ... 5-year-old Edith and 3-year-old William Kennedy.

Marcellus Wiley's estranged wife Annemarie wants him to pay up ... she's asking a Los Angeles court to order him to start paying child and spousal support ... plus over $200,000 in legal fees amid their nasty divorce proceedings.

Annemarie's legal team submitted the docs Thursday, which were obtained by TMZ ... and she's requested he continue paying for the lifestyle she and their kiddos were accustomed to ... at least while the divorce is pending.

This, she said, included private-school tuition, driving luxury vehicles, living in a fancy home worth at least $7 million, and more.

She did not request a specific amount of support ... but calculated the children's monthly costs alone between childcare, private school, and healthcare are $20,800 per month ... and said the mortgage on their home is another $18,000 per month, bringing just those expenses to around $40,000.
