A woman in New York is seeking sole custody of a child she said was fathered by Indiana Pacers All-Star Paul George, according to court documents.

In a previously sealed petition, the lawyer for Daniela Rajic states that George "is not capable of care of the child as the child's custodial parent due to, among other things, his profesional obligations, his lifestyle and his residency away from the child. ... (George) is in a travel status during the season and during the off-season."

The petition also seeks testing to determine George is the father. The child, Olivia George, was born May 1, 2014.

According to the documents, George has acknowledged that he is the father "verbally and in writing and, upon request, paid various medical and other expenses in relation to pregnancy." A prenatal paternity test indicated "99.9 percent probability (George) is the biological father."

George acknowledged a relationship with Rajic in February and said he if there was legal confirmation he was the father he would "embrace it."

A spokesman for George emailed the following statement to The Star: "This is a routine paternity case, but perhaps some people find it unusual that a high profile athlete is willing to accept responsibility and provide emotional and financial support for a child once it is legally determined to be his."
