Dennis Rodman could spend up to 20 days in an Orange County jail if he does not have his contempt of court verdict reversed. Last November, his ex-wife filed a lawsuit against the former pro basketball player, claiming that he owed her roughly $860,000 in unpaid child support and spousal support.

Rodman’s lawyers have said that this amount is extremely too high, and that Rodman is currently paying his monthly support to the best of his ability. He has three children that he supports this way, and does not make as high of an income as when he was playing in the NBA.

In 2010, Rodman was ordered to pay $50,000 a month in child support, but that amount was largely reduced to $4,500. According to Rodman’s attorney, the contempt of court charge was based on the $50,000 monthly installment, and therefore is not accurate. The hearing for the contempt of court charge was delayed until May 29.

This Monday, model Linda Evangelista requested $46,000 in monthly child support from her ex-husband in Manhattan Family Court.  Support Magistrate Matthew Troy said, “That would probably be the largest support order in the history of Family Court.”

In addition to the monthly child support, Evangelista requested $80,000 a year for 24-hour nanny care for her 4-year old son, Augustin James.  Augustin’s father is Francois-Henri Pinault — CEO of the French conglomerate which owns Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Yves St. Laurent.

The model also sought $7,500 for monthly vacation expenses for her and Augustin but the judge quickly turned this down.  According to court documents, the model requested the high amount of child support to cover nannies, drivers, and security details.
