She sought sole custody of their daughter, while the NBA star wants joint custody.
The pair are also parents to another daughter, Mila Brooks.
The child will get access to Brooks' health insurance, per the filing.
The case, first reported on by The Blast, is ongoing. RadarOnline.com has learned Andrews stated that Brooks shall maintain the minor child on the health insurance provided to him through the Houston Rockets and/or the National Basketball Association.
Last June, Andrews shared a supportive message for Brooks on her Instagram account. "Dillon, Thank you for everything you do for the kids and I. I can't wait to bring our daughter into this world together. Happy Fathers Day I'll always love you XO."
Brooks' page is currently wiped and has no Instagram photo with the name saved as Villain. He currently has a four-year, $86 million deal with Houston.
Earlier this week, Brooks was ejected less than five minutes into his first preseason game with the Rockets on Tuesday for a flagrant foul 2 to the groin of Indiana Pacers center Daniel Theis, which he said was an accident.
A statement was later released by the NBA, noting that Brooks had been fined $25k for "recklessly making contact" with Theis in the groin area which happened minutes into the first quarter of the Rockets' win over the Pacers at the Toyota Center in Houston.
