Trevor and Lana share a son. Lana accused the basketball star of physically abusing their child on multiple occasions.
Trevor denied the accusations and said, “what is occurring here is in fact [Allen’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’s relationship.”
In 2020, a judge threw out the restraining order after finding Trevor did not pose a threat to the child.
In his new filing, Trevor argued the court should not consider the past restraining order when it rules at the upcoming hearing.
