Former basketball player Dennis Rodman has been ordered to stay away from his ex-wife after allegedly attacking her last month.

Michelle Rodman obtained a temporary ban against the retired athlete after he allegedly entered her house on May 28th and shoved her when she refused to let him near his 11-year-old son.

Michelle was in an Orange County, California court on Thursday to ask a judge to make the ban permanent.

Taking the stand, she claimed the athlete was drunk when he barged into her home at 2.30am and pushed her onto a bed when she would not let him see his son D.J.

Rodman is expected to appear in court when the hearing continues on Friday, reports TMZ.com.

The former couple wed in 2003, but Michelle filed divorce papers to end their union a year later.
