THINGS HEAT UP IN FUNCHES-WADE CASE
Siohvaughn Funches-Wade was sternly dealt with at a Cook County courthouse on Tuesday, June 26, 2012. The ex-wife of Dwyane Wade and mother of his two children, Zion,5, and Zaire,10, was told by Associate Judge Helaine Leslie Berger to keep the kids out of her quarrels with Miami Heat Player Dwyane Wade. “Read my lips on this – you tell the kids: ‘I got arrested, your dad got me arrested’ … I take away your visitation,” said Berger. “The children should not be in the middle of this,” the judge added.
Firm orders come after Funches allegedly overstepped her boundaries during a visitation by refusing to allow the children to be picked up by Wade’s sister. Siohvaughn was subsequently arrested and charged with resisting. Dwyane has since petitioned for supervised visits to take place in Florida instead of Chicago, and has asked the courts to transfer the case to Florida where he has sole custody of the boys.
The former couple divorced in 2010, with Wade getting custody of the boys in 2011.

I’m going to go with he probably got great legal advice when they got a divorce and was told he didn’t have to pay child support if he got custody! I’m not a fan of his with this whole situation.
she tried to get full custody and wanted him to have supervised visits the tables turned on her people kill me talking about how men’s need to be in their children lives this man has done what he thinks is best for his sons and he gets judge really just watching our local news I know she has issue she missed court dates showed up late and admitted to not wanting to work that does not sound like someone who wants their children just because you lay down and have a baby proves you are a woman not a mother
I cannot stand the way women seem to side with men these days as long as old dude has money – This case, Rihanna’s, etc., our bottom line seems to be if he’s rich, we MUST acquit!
REAL TALK – Almost ALL of us have been in that situation that makes us crazy to a point – whether that be from him cheating, taking our kids around his new woman, or sometimes being on the verge of loosing everything. At that point, rationale behavior takes a back seat & we are capable of ridiculous actions…
Siohvaughn WENT there, did stupid things to get his attention or hurt him, and lost custody as a result. If she were such a bad mother all around, he had the resources to 1) Not have any additional children with her after the 1st one & 2) Taken those boys YEARS before it got so public. I think it’s time to stop the stupidity on both sides (he knows good & well supervised visitation in FL will be a hardship for her), do what’s best for those boys, & make sure they have an involved mother. When all is said & done, they’ll be the ones hurt.
This story is just so sad to me. I think that the mother has allowed her anger and resentment towards her boys father to rule her. I understand that she was hurt by their breakup,but acting a fool and losing your children isn’t worth it.
Now why would he do that? That’s asking for a confrontation. A 3rd party picking up the kids is the best thing for them and their children.
Say it again Myeshia! So true!
IDK, but I do know she did something that caused the judge to grant custody to Dwayne. She is still doing something to get herself arrested. If she doesn’t stop, she’s going to do something to make those children not want to be around her. Whatever it is she’s doing, she’s obviously not thinking of her children first.
And there it is plain and simple!
D. Wade’s ex has some issues, and if a judge granted full custody to him and took them away from their MOTHER, something is really going on with her. I think it’s SAD. When you see D. Wade w/ his boys they seem to be so HAPPY, but I’m sure it’s affecting them more than anyone would ever know. I hope and pray whatever she is dealing w/ she can overcome her issues for the sake of the boys, and bring their family back to some normalcy.
Not always true – There are some pretty regular 6-figure guys who have managed the same result in front of the right judge.
My mum told me that over 80% of men who FILE for physical custody of their children, get it. We have this perception that the courts usually side with the mum but men who actually go after their kids usually have a REASON (like her being unfit, or he really hates her and is motivated) or BANK on their side.
When men go after custody, unless a baby is breastfeeding, both parent are on equal standing when it comes to physical custody.
The mother needs to get on with her life. No use acting a fool & not being able to see your kids at all. Like everyone said unless Wade is bribing the judge, there is a reason he has custody.
I read somewhere that he and his ex started liking one another when they were just 8 years old. NO doubt, it tore her heart out to find out that he was cheating. You already reclaimed your heart, Dwayne, but don’t punish her by taking away her babies too.
I agree with previous comments by JENDC, Jasmyn, and Allison!! Well said ladies!!
He has started a new life and wants to erase her from it, but you can’t do that when children are involved. I doubt if she is really that bad. Like or not he will have to have her in his life in some capacity. I pray that she gets joint custody. I don’t care how much money you have, you shouldn’t take children away from their mother like that. This girl needs Gloria Alred.
It’s always interesting reading the comments for Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh…. I don’t know what to say about them!
I completely blame her. The only reason that he even filed for custody, was because she made it hard for him to see the kids. She was being spiteful. And I think she is still trying to be spiteful by keeping him in court. I don’t doubt that she loves those kids, but I think she wants to use them to make him suffer. If she really wanted those kids back then she would comply with the courts and show them how she is improving. Its Obvious Wade wants her in their life if he is asking the judge for supervised visitation. And that is her fault as well if she would have never denied his sister from getting those kids then she could be getting unsupervised visits.
I agree with the judge, the kids should be kept out of arguments. Don’t know the whole story of what happened between those two, but there is some reason why he was granted custody. Doubt is has anything to do with money.
All kids need their Mothers Love!
I wish the lil boys the best!
All kids need a “mothers” love…they do not necessary need the love of their bio mothers love if its proven to be toxic. And I’ll keep reminding myself theres three sides to every story.
Wade has custody of his two bio sons and his bio nephew. He maybe the most devious whatever whatever whatever but in court he followed the judges ruling and that is why he was granted custody of his sons and nephew (two different situations).
With the bad press the legal systems gets when a child is harmed or killed by a parent,a judge is not going to put their career (or a childs life) on the line by taking a chance on an unstable parent.
The mum had access to top shelf attorneys and legal advice, she choose not to take it and made herself look unstable to the court. If you were judge, who would you take a chance on when there are childrens lives at stake?
I don’t get it. People complain when men don’t fight for their kids, and now they’re complaining that Dwade is fighting for his. If the mother refuses to comply with the courts orders what do you want him to do?It’s not his fault she lost her kids, it’s hers. He was paying child support and complying with the court orders and she was behaving foolishly. That’s on her, not him.
I agree! When they don’t fight for them and do what they are suppose to, they are label “no good” or a “deadbeat” but when they do, they are wrong, hateful & out to get the mother like women do no wrong and are always right because they’re “mom”.
Exactly!! I am glad the kids actually have a father in place that WANTS to be there and is not being forced too. Most men would just walk away.
Anyone know why Dewayne has custody of his nephew?
Siovaughn has so much hate for Dwayne that she’s letting it cloud her judgement of getting her babies back. Nothing in this world would keep me from getting my kids back I’m sorry.
You’re so right. Her hate for D Wade is clouding her judgment. She needs to let go of all the nonsense in order to get her children back.
I don’t think the bio mother wants her children she wants to make trouble for Wade because she doesn’t want him to be happy with someone else.
IF my babies were taken away from me I would be doing everything the court says I would be on my best-est behavior, I would be seeking help, petitioning doing everything possible to get them back. Instead all she does is resist defy the judge and get into more trouble. At some point we just have to lose some battles to win the war – She needs to let Dwade and that anger go. It so not worth it.
She really doesn’t learn she must not want her kids back. SMH
Bottom line is if she wanted her kids she would have showed up to court and did what she was suppose to do. Her losing her kids was her fault. Lawyers quitting, being held in contempt of court, being arrested for not attending court was her fault not Wade’s.
Whatever her issue with Wade is, is between HER & WADE not your KIDS. These children have nothing to do with yall drama and it really Bother me when mothers(and fathers) put their kids in their BS and ultimately try to make them hate the other parent.
Why my comments aren’t posting?
I agree 110% with the judge. Whatever your issue with Wade is, is between YOU & WADE not your KIDS. These children have nothing to do with yall drama and it really bothers me when mothers(and fathers) put their kids in their BS and ultimately try to make them hate the other parent. Grow up please & stop acting a fool. And I will say NO judge will remove children from their mother no matter who & what the dad is UNLESS she seems unstable. If she REALLY wanted her kids that bad, she should of showed up to court & acted like woman with sense and not a crazy fool.
This is sad. I don’t think taken the boys away from their mother was a good idea. Can these two come to an agreement. I feel so bad for the kids. I wish adults can get it together. It’s hard to believe that it was too long these two were once married and in love. ” there’s a thin line between love and hate”
This case is just as sad as Chris Bosh not paying enough in child support. It’s sad everything boils down to the almighty dollar!
The courts decide how much child support a man pays. A court looks at the location the kid lives in & sees both parents income. Chris Bosh daughter live in florida where things aren’t that expensive. A judge saw that she didn’t need a lot of money. Now if the mother was living in a bigger city like LA or NYC. She would get a whole lot more money. Everything isn’t about money, its about greed & crazy. Wade ex has some deep issues she needs to handle. How are you gonna act out & expect the judge to side w/ you. I just read that Chris gave his ex 400k to get a house & she has a man living w/ her, but now she wants him to help her pay her mortgage? Idk, i only feel sorry for the kids in this whole thing. the adults need to grow up & go to parenting class/counseling
From what Chris Bosh’s attorney’s explained, Chris Bosh’s baby’s mother chose to take a lump sum of $250,000 in 2010 and $2700 a month in child support payments not including expenses for schooling. I feel like that is more than reasonable. She chose to spend the money inappropriately and is looking for more from Bosh.
That is messed up! D Wade you are wrong for this one!
How is He wrong
This case makes me sick to my stomach, I’m not condoning what Siovaughn is doing because she should have been strong and let GOD deal with his cheating butt, but instead she was weak and dealt with the situation in the wrong way and it she lost her kids in the process .. Dewayne Wade makes me sick he is using her money and fame to drive this lady crazy it is obvious that he created this problem so instead of being so hateful be a man and try to resolve the situation, I hope she pulls it together and move pass this
They both cheated on each other plus she gave him and STD(her words not mine) so I don’t think it’s fair to say he put her through so much. They put each other through a lot. She’s no innocent victim that’s being taken advantage of. They both played apart in their marriage falling apart. They got the divorce, time to move on and stop making excuses.
How is he “driving her crazy” with his money?! If she behaved, she wouldn’t be in court – period. When it comes to child custody and support cases, if you want to win, you have to behave no matter what. What provocation did she have not to turn those kids over to their aunt? Be mad at her; but he’s not pulling puppet strings behind her back to make her shoot herself in the foot, money or not.
WONDERFUL!
Those are HER boys DARN IT!!! This case makes me so angry and look at Dwayne Wade with venom for taking her boys from her just to get out of paying Child support! It’s not right.
Get out of paying child support? lol, How about wanting to raise your kids. Normally the judge doesn’t give full custody over to the father, unless something’s up with the mother. The court is always in favor of the mother, so something may not be quite right with Siohvaughn for the judge to be so harsh. I honestly don’t know what’s going on, but Dwade expressed the problems in his personal life regarding this situation. It’s deeper than we understand.
They are as much his boys as hers. And through her own foolishness, she lost full custody and through her own foolishness, she’s about to be forced into something even more embarrassing, which is supervised visitation.
The court will always weigh the behavior of the requesting parent in any custody issue. Keep doing stupid stuff, keep losing rights.
It is rare for the courts to grant men full custody of the children so the mother mst have some deep issues. Did she get a lot of money in the divorce does anyone know? I hope they can work it out because the children still need their mother in their lives.
