Dennis Rodman Possibly Facing Jail Time

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman could be facing 20 days in prison for failure to pay child support for his two young children. Rodman's ex-wife, Michelle Rodman, claims that he owes around $860,000 in child support. However, Rodman's lawyer, Linnea Willis, claims that he has paid the majority, if not all, of his child support payments, and she claims that she can and will prove this to the family court judge. Rodman was found to be in contempt of court in November of last year whenever he failed to pay the child support. This case is going to be heard in Orange County, which is the place that Rodman lived for over a decade before he moved to Florida, on May 29th. In 2010, he was supposed to pay $50,000 a month; however, it later was decreased to $4,500 a month. Rodman's lawyer had claimed in court documents that Rodman does not earn any income. However, on Tuesday, she claimed he makes over $100,000 a year just from appearances.

This seems to be a suspicious case. My take on this is that the real truth is somewhere in the middle. I believe Rodman probably does owe some child support that he is not telling, but I bet it is not $860,000 as his ex-wife claims is the case. She is probably just trying to get a little extra money out of him. It is a shame that some exes cannot resolve their differences peacefully, especially over child support, which is supposed to be about taking care of the kids only.
