Dennis Rodman can't afford to pay more than $800,000 in back child support because he's broke, this according to new court documents.
Dennis' ex-wife Michelle Rodman filed new papers this month, claiming he owes $808,935 in unpaid child support for his two children and an additional $51,441 in unpaid spousal support.
But Dennis' attorney responded to the filing, insisting there's no way the Chicago Bulls legend can pay those bills because "Respondent Dennis Rodman is broke and cannot afford any additional fees."
According to his lawyer, Dennis is also "extremely sick" and just isn't making the same kind of money. The lawyer does not specify the nature of Rodman's illness.
Dennis' lawyer insists the monthly amount is "unjustified" because it isn't based on Dennis' actual income ... it's based on ludicrous estimates made by Michelle's attorney.
Rodman is due in court today for a contempt hearing stemming from the child support bill and he could be sentenced to 20 days in jail for failure to make payments.
