Dwyane Wade Divorce Case: Wife May Fire NINTH Lawyer In Two Years

Wade

CHICAGO — A judge in Chicago says Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade's wife may fire her ninth divorce lawyer in slightly more than two years.

The judge warned Siohvaughn (SHOH'-vahn) Wade that she should have a new attorney by a scheduled July 19 custody trial or be ready to represent herself.

The custody trial is separate from the trial to determine dissolution of the Wades' marriage.

The trial had been set to get under way June 7. But at a hearing Friday, Cook County Circuit Judge Marya (muh-REE'-uh) Nega granted what she described as a final postponement after allowing Mrs. Wade to dismiss her most recent lawyer.

The judge put off until trial any action on contempt allegations against Mrs. Wade.

Part of a lawyer's job is to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Is Dywane paying for the lawyers? I smell conspiracy Siohvaughn, watch your back.

I wouldn't be surprised - although nine lawyers still is a bit much.

This isn't uncommon in states (e.g. Florida) where the primary wage earner has to pay for the other spouse's attorney. Vindictive spouses regularly hire and fire tons of attorneys - compelling the primary wage earner to keep ploping down cash to get new attorneys up to speed and essentially freezing the litigation.

She just can't get it through her head that she's not gonna get it ALL. Doesn't matter who he had sex with. I suspect she won't get the idea until the Judge tells her the same thing and she tries to fire her on the spot.

lol! She is just crazy and she is helping Dwayne's claim that she is unbalanced. I have no pity for weak minded women. So what it has happened, stop mopping around and keep it moving.

What are the chances of a "Nancy Grace" show segment in this woman's future...!?!?

The judge shouldn't allow such shigady to persist.

This mouthy fool will lose it all. And when they drag her kicking and screaming from the courtroom and throw her in a cell, for contempt, she might finally get a clue...but I doubt it.

A lawyer's nightmare. The know-nothing-know-it-all that watches lawyers on TV and think that makes them an expert. When an attorney tries to explain how things work in court, a client like this goes ballistic and becomes extremely uncooperative. I'm expecting the judge to have to hold her in contempt of court, and then you'll see a real meltdown.

She is listening to her girlfriends without out a pot to piss in, telling her what she should do......maybe they will put her up on the couch when this is all over. Let this be a lesson people, never let anyone see you sweat.....I don't care how much you are hurting, go by yourself and lick your wounds. Pathtic is not a good look an anyone, trust me.

I hope he gets custody of his children. This woman is mentally ill and emotionally abusive; she needs serious therapy.

It sure looks like a codependent relationship, doesn't it? Her and money.

Whenever I see a woman unhinged like this, I not only think she's nuts, but have to wonder about the guy too. He did after all marry her.

She would be a good reason not to get married. I hope Wade comes to the Bulls though. We need him despite what he said about the the organizations loyalty.

Imagine if you quit or got fired from your job you got to own half of the company?

The wore "love" is used to confuse people from realizing that they are signing the most absurd business contract in history.

Men...NEVER EVER EVER EVER get married.

Marriage really doesn't make sense for young guys. It's known that women file 3/4 of the divorce petitions in the country and that they receive about 98% of the child support/alimony judgments. The problem is exacerbated by the tendency for women to "marry up." By marrying a higher wage earner, they can justify asking for way more alimony by claiming that they need to maintain a lifestyle they have grown accustomed to. The Wall Street Journal has done a number of pieces on the broken divorce laws in this country.

As far as I'm concerned - if roughly 50% of marriages end in divorce and the guy looses half in divorce, I'll just torch 25% of my money and we can all skip the hassle.
