Judge Tells Dwyane Wade’s Ex-Wife: ‘Don’t Tell Kids He Had You Arrested!’

Theballerlife.com has learned that a Cook County judge told Dwyane Wade’s ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches on Tuesday that if she tells her kids Wade had her arrested, she’ll lose her chance to see the boys.

“If you tell them, ‘Your daddy got me arrested,’ I take away visitation,” Cook County Associate Judge Helaine Berger said. “The children should not be in the middle.”

The showdown played out again Tuesday in a downtown Chicago courtroom during a contentious hearing that included Wade’s ex-wife taking the Fifth, and her attorney accusing Wade, who just won his second NBA title Thursday night, of being too busy to be in court.

Dwyane Wade was given sole custody of the children in 2011. His ex-wife was given visitation rights. Dwyane Wade’s attorney, James Pritikin, said Funches-Wade has been “unstoppable and relentless” in trying to alienate the children from their father.

Funches-Wade’s attorney said it was the basketball star who was doing a disservice to his children. He questioned why he wasn’t present in court Tuesday.

Associate Judge Berger put off ruling on the matter until July 9. However, she told Funches-Wade she can’t spend time with her kids in the Chicago area until she reaches her decision.

As you know, these child custody cases can get a bit messy and drawn out. We sure hope these two can work it for the kids.
