Divorces can get SO ugly. It makes me want to never get married – such a waste of energy. Yesterday it was revealed that Steve Nash does not plan on retiring yet thanks to court documents from this divorce battle. Now were learning that Steve may have the upper hand in this mess because of a reported 3rd party email. The digital world can get you! Report after the jump…
Via TMZ:
Steve Nash’s attorney is grilling the NBA star’s ex-wife like a cheeseburger … accusing Alejandra of scheming behind Steve’s back so she could trap him into paying child support, TMZ has learned.
Alejandra Amarilla is currently on the stand in an Arizona courtroom in the former couple’s nasty custody hearing … and things are getting pretty intense.
Moments ago, Steve’s lawyer hammered Alejandra in open court — saying, “You saw the trade [from the Phoenix Suns to the Lakers] as a way to obtain a higher child support amount regardless of what was best for the kids, didn’t you?”
Alejandra denied the allegation — shooting back with a simple, “No.”
Then, Nash’s attorney produced an email that Alejandra supposedly sent to a 3rd party — in which it appears Alejandra discusses a plot to trap Nash into paying child support.
The email reads — “My position is we are moving to California because [our children’s] father is there. I believe the school is a great fit for them. I can’t buy a home unless we get child support. Plan is to move to CA. Wait 6 months then get court involved in child support.”
As we previously reported, Alejandra is adamant she only wants to move to L.A. so the kids can spend more time with their father — who plays for the Lakers and lives in Manhattan Beach.
Nash — who forked over roughly $5 mil in the divorce settlement — currently pays ZERO dollars in child support in Arizona … but that figure could rise substantially if Alejandra is allowed to move to CA.

Update:
Steve Nash is NOT trying to weasel out of paying child support to his ex-wife … this according to Nash’s attorney who tells TMZ accusations to the contrary are “absolute nonsense.”
Nash and his lawyer Steven Wolfson just strolled back into a Maricopa County courtroom in AZ … where they’re set to do battle with Steve’s ex-wife Alejandra for the 2nd day in their nasty child support war.
As we previously reported, Alejandra believes the Lakers star is trying to block her from moving with their 3 kids from PHX to L.A. because Steve doesn’t want to pay child support. As we reported, Nash is not paying child support in Arizona, but if his wife and kids move to California a judge would likely make a significant dent in Nash’s wallet.
On his way into court, Steve didn’t want to talk about the allegation — but his lawyer did … saying, “That is absolute nonsense and it’s not accurate at all.”
Alejandra arrived to court soon after.
We’re told the judge is expected to deliver a ruling in the case by the end of the day.
Stay tuned …

UPDATE:
Steve Nash — who plays for the LOS ANGELES Lakers — just trashed L.A. in open court … claiming the City of Angels is NO PLACE to raise a family.
Nash slammed L.A. on the stand in his legal war with ex-wife Alejandra … saying point blank, “I don’t want my kids to grow up in L.A.”
Nash said he would consider raising his kids in San Diego … but only because “it’s a different lifestyle.”
Of course, Alejandra doesn’t believe that — she thinks Steve’s trying to block her from moving the kids to L.A. because the Arizona courts aren’t making him pay a penny in child support and he’s afraid a California judge would nail him.
