A judge came down hard on Dennis Rodman on Tuesday. An Orange County judge held the former basketball star in contempt for getting behind almost a million dollars in unpaid child support for his 9- and 10-year-old children and an additional $51,441 in unpaid spousal support. Rodman was placed on 3 years probation and ordered to perform 104 hours of community service. While on probation, Rodman is required to stay current with child support and cover alimony.  Dennis has argued saying he couldn’t pay because he’s broke. According to Dennis, Michelle’s [his ex-wife] six-figure child support bill is based on a $50,000-a-month child support order she obtained behind his back. Rodman’s been fighting it since 2010.
