Judge orders DeWayne Wade’s ex-wife to visit children in Fla.
A Cook County judge ruled that Dwyane Wade’s ex-wife will have to make changes to the children’s visiting arrangements while the court determines if she was involved with interfering with a previously arranged visitation schedule. She will now shift her children’s visits from Chicago to Florida unless or until the court rules otherwise.
Siohvaugn Funches-Wade was arrested on June 16 for allegedly refusing to return their children to Wade’s sister. Funches-Wade was supposed to meet Wade’s sister at the airport with the children so that they could spend Father’s Day with their dad. They did not show up at the airport.
As a result, a judge ruled that she’ll have to travel to Florida to see their two sons, who are 5 and 10 years old. The judge also forbid her from talking about the incident with her children.
Wade won sole custody of the children in a long court battle in 2011 and Funches-Wade has awarded visitation rights. Wade’s lawyers filed an emergency motion to revoke Funches-Wade’s visitation in June after the children weren’t returned as previously arranged.
The sheriff’s department arrived at Funches-Wade’s house and she allegedly resisted arrest and was charged with two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference and one count of resisting arrest.
After the last incident, Funches-Wade’s own lawyers moved to withdraw from representing her.
She is now represented by Michael Haber who said the entire incident was a misunderstanding.

Where’s all of the Black women who love condemning a Black man for the least infraction of a court decree regarding children? What about this nut of a mother here?
I truly hope that you do something to lessen your obvious anger toward Black woman. Most of us do not know you and did not hurt you. Peace.
I agree with you that this she is a nut case. And I also agree that there are way to many people (women & men) who jump on the bandwagon to condemn a Black man for violating a court order but have so much empathy for a women when her feet are held to the same fire. Not me, I’m a women, mother and wife who believes that women should be held accountable for attempting to intefer with the precious father/child relationship.
Do you realize that we black women agree with you that, women like this are pathetic to use the children to hurt the ex because their scorned, but that’s NOT the majority.
Let’s not pretend like it’s only woman that use the children because plenty of “deadbeat” fathers claim to want visitation with their children only to get the children off and grill them about what their mothers doing, who she’s with now. Not to mention the fathers that act like the kids don’t exist and just move on with a new woman.
A real man would never take children away from their mother unless she was unfit. Not the case since they where in court from almost a year. The trail was in Miami, no wonder he got custody.At best he will be an absentee father while he plays basketball. Who is going to take care of the kids, a nanny or Gabrielle Union. The real story is he doesn’t want to pay child support. He’s a disgrace for manhood and especially black manhood.
WTF, Who is Blue Black Dog. Where is their Contact US page. Folks you are being played by this pseudo black racist site.
You don’t have a clue! Obviously, this debacle between the Wades just made it to your doorstep. The ex-Ms. Wade has done quite the opposite of behaving as a parent. She made a public spectacle of herself so many times in an effort to make DWade look like a fool but a judge saw right through her! She even claimed that Gabby Union and Wade had s*x in front of their children as well as the vicious claim that Gabby gave Wade an STD that he later passed on to her. None of it was true and it was proven. She is a charcter and Wade is not a disappointment to any race. He is a man, a father, a Black man but an individual non-the- less. He represents himself not you. Moron
@Sid – the trial was in Chicago. You are very misinformed and Dwayne Wade is looking out for his kids. There was never a story EVER that Dwyane Wade was not paying or wanting to pay support – he only went for custody when his ex asked the court to make him have supervised visitation b/c she was mad that he was with Gabrielle. I’m tired of seeing women rag dog men just because he no longer chooses to be in a relationship. It’s very detrimental to the children and no mentally stable woman would choose to do so.
I agree with all of you alls comments! His ex is way out of order literally.
Too bad the two of them have failed to work something out to prevent their children from going through. I hope they are able to. I wish them both the best. Realationships are difficult and breaking up is harder.
Happens all the time, with the rich and famous and regular folk. More men are getting custody of their children than ever before. It’s no longer the rule that children are better off with their mothers. Now it’s children are better off with whom can better parent. His job is playing ball his sisters or whomever are designated child care, just the same as the everyday Joe, has to work and has child care. If he needs to travel a lot most likely a family member keeps the children. The X-Mrs. Wades behaiors did not just come out of the blue. Perhaps infidelity pushed her over the edge. ONLY SHE AND WADE KNOWS. Something how he keeps a nearly squeaky clean image and we only see and hear of her behaviors. Her pain has turned into anger, and anger becomes unreasonable and out of control. I doubt she was that way when they married.
@Sandra, I agree but maybe she was this way when they were married and that contributed to why they aren’t anymore.
Cortection….A real woman would not try to utilize their kids for control or attention. Itsabout time the courts gave the Black Man….or man period…some doggone rights. We have too many keep a man baby mommas in this world today
I am grateful to Dwayne Wade for standing up to this emotional bully he has for an ex-wife. So many mothers do the same thing on a regular basis when the marriage or relationship doesn’t work out – use the children as pawns. If he doesn’t want me, he won’t have MY kids either is their mindset. And it’s childish, vindictive and EVIL to try and keep children from their father’s who love them and want to spend time with them ESPECIALLY ON FATHER’S DAY! My parents were married and still are but I tell you what, I CAN’T IMAGING my mom telling my Dad when he could and couldn’t see us. It’s just not something that makes any sense. It’s enough children who have to grow up w/out the love of a father b/c the man doesn’t choose to be an active part of their lives BUT TO TRY AND PREVENT a man from being a part b/c you are bitter IS CRIMINAL and she should have been arrested. Had it been Wade violating an order no one would be having any sympathy. It is my prayer that b/c of Wade’s proballer status this wicked underculture of women violating a man’s right to be a Dad will be brought more to the forefront and brought to an end.
I am a woman and a mother and I approve this message!
