Dwyane Wade's high school sweetheart and ex-wife Siohvaughn Funches is seemingly looking to cash in on his new two-year, $47 million contract with the Chicago Bulls. The Sun-Sentinel reports that Funches wants a Cook County judge to throw out their divorce settlement with the hopes of squeezing more money out of Wade.
Back in 2013, a judge ruled that Wade must pay Funches $5 million. Their settlement included a non-disparage agreement, which would prevent either person from making defamatory remarks about one another, as well as Wade's current wife Gabrielle Union. Now, Siovaughn is suing her former divorce lawyer Brian Hurst for malpractice, claiming he agreed to the deal without her knowledge.
Per the Sun-Sentinel:
On Friday, Judge Martin Agran threw out the lawsuit, but proposed that she file an amended lawsuit which her new laywer Thomas Gooch says she will "absolutely" take. The Sun-Sentinel reached out to Hurst, who says he kept her in the loop and all items were agreed upon by both sides. However, in an excerpt from a Chicago Sun-Times article may suggest otherwise.
