$800,000! Former NBA star Dennis Rodman owes some serious child support and will be going to court to plead his case.
Rodman’s ex-wife Michelle Rodman filed papers this month stating that Dennis owes her $808,935 in unpaid child support and $51,441 for spousal support.
The former athlete and his ex were married in 2003 and have two children, son D.J. and daughter, Trinity.
His lawyer claims, “Respondent Dennis Rodman is broke and cannot afford any additional fees.”
By way of excuse, the legal eagle added that Rodman is “extremely sick” and isn’t bringing in what he once was. He maintains that the figures are based on an order that Michelle filed several years ago allotting her $50,000 a month in child support. Dennis has been fighting this amount since 2010.
Rodman is due in court today for a contempt hearing. If convicted he could be sentenced to 20 days behind bars for failure to make his child support payments.
Can being a deadbeat dad make you “extremely sick” or does the guy really have a serious medical issue? We’ll keep digging…
