Dwyane Wade and his ex-wife Siohvaughn have been divorced for three years but the former couple’s legal battles haven’t ended just yet. The Miami Heat star has primary custody of the their two sons, and his ex-wife has been making claims suggesting D Wade has been finding ways to keep the kids from her and doesn’t adhere to the court ordered visitations out of spite. However, she may have given her ex husband all the ammo he needed to make it even harder for her to see the kids considering her recent protest on the streets of Chicago, which included a sign declaring she was homeless, will now be used as proof according to D Wade that she is mentally unstable. In fact, he recently filed paperwork in the court requesting Siohvaughn be required to take a psychological evaluation before she can see the kids again. If she fails the evaluation, he’s asking the court to terminate her visitations. Her lawyer says his accusations of mental illness are baseless.

Siohvaughn also claims this is just a spiteful tactic the basketball star is using to punish her for her recent protest on the Chicago streets. She tells the Southtown Star:

“This is Mr. Wade’s ongoing pattern of behavior. I have noticed that after I speak out publicly and say what Dwyane has done to me, my children…Mr. Wade responds by running into court and asking the judge to terminate my visitation with my children in an effort to stop me from seeing my children anymore.”

  1. Well of course he is getting her back for making him look bad in the media. But this is a fight she will not win. She doesn’t have the money to win.

  2. Sioh can say all she wants to the press but all she’s doing is setting herself up for more failure. She keeps giving that man ammo to destroy her. I don’t know who is around her, but someone needs to tell her the truth. This is a war she can’t win. Not this way at least.

    1. Cosign! And if he punishes you for talking to the media, then here’s a hint, STOP TALKING TO THE DAM* MEDIA!!!

  3. If Dwyane is doing what Siohvaughn is saying, she needs to stop running to the press. Let your lawyer talk for you.

  4. Oh Lawd…where are her family members? Someone needs to tell this woman her little strategies are not working.

  5. It’s stupid for D Wade and Sio to do this because while they are trying to hurt each other, the only be who will suffer in the end are the kids. Both of them have a lot to learn about life and maturity.

  6. I actually agree with Siohvaughn. Dwyane is mistreating her and has successfully used the Media to paint her as an unfit mother.

  7. She is telling the truth every time she speaks out he does something to retaliate but with that said I don’t fault Wade for this psych evaluation. Like I said before she has let this whole situation ruin her life not Wade she did she needs find a way to let this go for her own sanity.

  8. I believe her. But she needs to take a page out of Tameka Raymond’s book and play this out in court. The outside antics won’t help her and they will use all of it against her.

  9. She needs to be quiet and get ready to lawyer up properly. She’s going to have to fight something serious to prove to the court she’s not crazy. That last stunt was a doozy.

  10. I feel sorry for both parents! Sio is only expressing her hurt, however, it is causing more harm to her case. It has to be hard to see your children on t.v. and know that you are not allowed to physically see them face to face. Wade, does not see or realize the damage he is causing between the boys relationship with him when they get a little older. Regardless of what people may think…until you lose your kids, fail at marriage, and suffer such media shame…don’t say what you would have or would do. We all can say what we will do until we are actually in that situation.

  11. It’s amazing that this is the ‘norm’ for men and has been the norm for men. We consistently have had our children forcibly taken from us and have had to fight to be in their lives in many instances. However when the shoe is on the other foot the man is ‘wrong’ for going through the same court system that has beaten them over the head repeatedly in other cases.

    Just look at the language that is being used in this thread. Vindictive, Retaliate etc… Look at everything that has happened.

    She has accused Wade of the following:

    1. Abusing their children (Disproven)
    2. Using drugs (Disproven)
    3. Having weapons around the children (Disproven)
    4. Abandoning the children (Disproven despite the fact that she is the one that decided to move with the kids to Chicago.)
    5. Performing sexual acts with Ms. Union around the children (Disproven)
    6. Emotional distress against Ms. Union (Disproven)
    7. But here is the doozie… Siohvaughn Wade has claimed in legal docs the Miami Heat guard gave her chlamydia. (Disproven)

    But during a deposition, Andrea Williams … a close friend of the Wades — claimed Siohvaughn told her she contracted the disease from another man. (Say whuuuuuuuuuuuut?)

    Williams testified in her depo, Siohvaughn was seeing another man during her marriage — and claims she was present in 2007 when Mrs. Wade accused the boyfriend of giving her the STD. (Whachootalkinboutwillis?!?!)

    But enough about chlamydia. Williams also claims in her depo that Siohvaughn bought a T-Mobile cell phone for her BF. Dwyane is a T-Mobile spokesperson. (I know Charles Barkley clowned the HELL outta him behind this one)

    But through ALL of that Mr. Wade was still interested in shared custody. I mean really? Really? She couldn’t get the dude a Sprint phone? What about Verizon? lol! That right there pissed me off for him. lol!

    Even through all of this despite false allegations by Ms. Funches claiming to be ‘homeless’ and ‘destitute,’ Dwyane Wade has maintained over the years financial support to his ex-wife by providing her with income over $25,000 on a monthly basis, timely paid for her home mortgage, maintenance and security at the house, 4 cars, insurance, taxes and all of her attorney fees throughout this process.” Yet THIS guy is the one that’s foul? Huh? She is getting 300k a year in support and 120k in “travel” expenses but HE is wrong?

    Not to mention an attorney appointed for their sons suggest his ex-wife going through psychological counseling, that for a court is a very big deal.
