Dennis Rodman's attorney, Linnea Willis, said in court documents that the former Laker is barely capable of paying for his living expenses, let alone the $5,000 he has for one child from another relationship, and the $4,500 monthly payment for spousal and child support to Michelle Rodman. The attorneys who have represented him to date have worked pro bono, Willis said. "Respondent Dennis Rodman is broke and cannot afford any additional fees," according to court documents filed on his behalf. He is "extremely sick" and his marketability is diminishing with age and illness, according to court documents.
