Dennis Rodman appears to be rather derelict when it comes to taking care of matters at home. According to
TMZ, Rodman's estranged wife,
Michelle, has been evicted twice from her apartment since 2009 and all because her realty TV hubby fell behind a few times on child support payments.
Rodman, aka "The Worm," is $500,000 in arrears as far as his court-ordered child support payments go for his two children with Michelle. Last week, Michelle filed new documents in Orange County Superior Court, which stated that Rodman had failed to cover her rent on two occasions. Rodman's neglect resulted in Michelle and the couple's children being evicted twice from two different apartments.
Rodman was ordered to pay his wife $50,000 a month in child support, and according to court records, he has a tab of $527,745.10.
TMZ reports that sources revealed Rodman just cannot afford to pay his wife the support that has been mandated by the court system, which was increased last March. Reportedly, Rodman has been working diligently at trying to get the fixed monthly payments lowered but has been unsuccessful.
Rodman's camp states that the 49-year-old will hand over the rent money just as soon as Michelle finds a more affordable place to live. The source added, "Dennis is trying to help her any way he possibly can."

Blondie, that sounds very racist of you. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. Who's to say your white lover may be taking the money that you get from so called dumb black men and spending it on a intelligent african-american woman. Please think before you speak.

It couldnot happen to a better person. Maybe white women will stop marrying black atheletes and having kids to insure a bank roll. Why do you think Tiger Woods got a divorce after two kids? She was just waiting for the right time.

If she get 50,000 a month how does she get evicted if he missed a month. Some ppl dont make 50,000 a year and they have multiple kids, rent, utilities etc... she need to stop living above her means she is not married to a NBA star any more. Get a job for yourself honey!!
