Can a Professional athlete have sole custody? DWade says YES

About a year and a half ago, I had a post about Dwyane Wade & his divorce proceedings.  On his 27th birthday Dwyane was given the gift of a lawsuit from his estranged wife Siouvaughn. At that time, I said she’d regret the steps that she was taking out of anger. “Flash” forward (ahhh that was funny for so many reasons, those of you that are quick will get it, if not ask ME)  a year and some change laterThe hits just keep getting worst. In today’s breaking news:

Documents obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press show Wade alleges his wife Siohvaughn cannot “be considered a fit and proper person” to raise their children. In more than 300 pages of filings, the All-Star says his wife exhibited threatening behavior, had extramarital affairs, uses abusive parenting methods and is unwilling to let the 2006 NBA finals MVP see his children. The couple has two boys, ages 8 and 2.

“For more than two years, I have tried to make peace with Siohvaughn concerning our divorce and custody of our kids,” Wade said in a statement released to The AP. “I no longer believe that’s possible. Siohvaughn has consistently attempted to interrupt or prevent me from having visitation time with our boys.”

Siohvaughn Wade’s behavior “has made it evident that she is unstable, dishonest, unbalanced, unwilling to accept responsibility for her actions, not of good character, and therefore, unfit to be a custodial parent,” according to the petition.

The AP include police reports from when Siohvaughn Wade called authorities to the couple’s home in a Miami suburb on Christmas Eve 2008 as Dwyane Wade arrived there to see his children.They also include claims made by Andrea Williams, a former friend of the couple, that Siohvaughn Wade paid for trips to Las Vegas and other places, bought a man she was romantically involved with as far back as 2004 a car and a motorcycle, threatened to find a gun and shoot her husband, and voluntarily entered an Illinois hospital to deal with anger-related issues.

To check the history on this and how it’s developed, peep my previous posts on the topic

And finally what DWade considered a shot but to us on the outside seemed pretty tame, Siovaughn’s appearance on the E! special, Basketball Wives (not to be confused with the upcoming VH1 show of the same name)

As I said when all of this 1st started coming out, your kids are going to wonder why all this needed to be handled so out in the open. Hope a quick resolution (it’s been since ’07 so that’s out) I hope what’s best for those 2 boys happen
