More Dwyane Wade custody battle drama? Though the former couple has been divorced for about three years, the legal battle between Dwyane Wade and his ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches-Wade is still going strong. Siohvaughn has been telling the media the Miami Heat star has been keeping their sons from her and not adhering to the court ordered visitations. The drama between them escalated when Siohvaughn held up a sign that labeled her homeless and protested on the streets of Chicago, and in the end D Wade would use it against her by telling the court it is proof she needs to be evaluated for mental illness. Siohvaughn’s lawyer fought back and claimed the request has no basis, and the basketball player needed to hand over the kids.
Well it looks like Siohvaughn just got a major victory on Tuesday. According to reports, D Wade was ordered by the judge to hand over the kids to his ex-wife, however, the court ordered she takes a test to determine if she has anger issues. Gossip Extra reports:
Miami Heat superstar Dwyane Wade was ordered by a family judge in Miami-Dade County to surrender immediately his two boys to their mother, ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches.
The decision came after a contentious three-hour hearing this afternoon. The judge, Antonio Marin, had scheduled 30 minutes to discuss the situation!
Marin also ordered Funches to undergo an evaluation to determine whether she has anger management issues.
Wade was supposed to make the two boys, Zaire, 11, and Zion, 6, available to his ex last week as part of their routine summer visitations.
Despite the fact that Wade has full custody, Funches gets to visit with the children every other weekend. In summer, she’s supposed to get them for two weeks a month.
As we reported recently, after Siohvaughn’s protest on the Chicago streets, D Wade filed an emergency motion to suspend her visitations and cited mental illness as the reason. Looks like the judge disagreed but Siohvaughn will have to be evaluated to determine if she has anger management issues.
GOOD! Those kids love both of their parents! Enough of the drama!
Agreed. I seriously hope one day they can get over what happened in the past and just agree to be great parents. Marriages don’t always work out, but you can’t spend years trying to get even because someone hurt you. And in this case, I think both D Wade and Sio are being vindictive to one another.
Well said I couldn’t have agreed more.
I’m happy for her. I just want her to get herself together and just focus on being a great mother to her kids. Stop this battle with D Wade. Neither one of them can win if they are hurting the kids in the process of trying to win.
Interesting. I’m glad she gets to see her kids. I just wonder if she can pass that anger management evaluation.
So will she stop acting like a lunatic now?
I feel so sorry for these kids. I hope one day both of these adults can stop this madness.
The judge made a terrible mistake! This woman is crazy and unfit to be with those kids!
Good for her!
Okay. She won this round but I hope she passes that evaluation. She has to calm down and stop all these theatrics. All she’s doing is setting herself up in the system to lose.
Now will she sit her looney a-s down somewhere?
I think the judge did the right thing. #shrugs
me too!
Hopefully everything will work out for them. Their children need both parents in their lives.
Good! Now this women can have a chance to bond with her children. Sometimes it take crazy to get things done! I hope these two parents can start over and really set an example for their children!!!!
None of us know what is really happening…but I’m so glad she gets to see her kids!
I think that if the woman has anger issues it stems from her marriage to him. He’s been bullying her for years now and the courts have been allowing it. First he was unfaithful to her. It’s one thing to be cheated on and another story when you are publicly humiliated for the world to see. I think she needs a reality show to clean up her image – let people see her trying to gain employment on her own merits and not ride the coat tails of her ex-husband. The epic battle to see her children – show the loving side of herself. Prove to the world that what he’s been putting into the universe is wrong and that in the end, wish him the best. The best way to win is to do well and be well.
