Dwyane Wade Divorce Update: Insists He's Fine With Judge’s Order To Turn Over Kids To Siohvaughn Wade, Two Agree To Stop Trash Talking
Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade insists he is satisfied with a judge’s ruling earlier this week requiring him to turn over his two young sons to their mother and his ex-wife for an extended visit.
According to GossipExtra.com attorneys for Wade and his ex-wife, Siovhaughn Funches, were in court on Tuesday, July 30, seeking clarity on an emergency motion he had filed in Miami Dade requesting that her visitation rights be suspended pending a psychological evaluation for all her erratic behavior.
While ordering Wade to immediately turn over the boys, ages 11 and four, Judge Antonio Marin also directed Funches to undergo mental testing and counseling for anger control issues. She will also be required to undergo family therapy with Wade and eldest son Zaire.
The one-time high school sweethearts have been embroiled in a highly publicized and contentious relationship ever since Wade filed for divorce in 2007. During proceedings, Funches went through as many as twelve attorneys and by the time their divorce was final in 2009 had been jailed at least twice for defiant behavior, according to news reports.
Late last month, Funches also took to the streets of downtown Chicago carrying a poster in the middle of Daley Plaza proclaiming “she was homeless.” Wade later told the court he has long paid his ex at least $25,000 a month in alimony as well as footed the bill for her mortgage and at least four vehicles she owns. Wade also recently agreed to pay her a lump sum of $5 million.
“We are satisfied with the ruling,” said Evan Mark, Wade’s attorney. He said the two had also agreed to stop trash talking one another in public.
GossipExtra added Wade, who retains sole custody of the kids, was assured by a neutral parenting coordinator that he’d be in touch with the kids on each day of their two-week visit.
