quote:

It began nearly a decade ago — and seemed to have finally ended with a $5 million-plus settlement in 2013. But newly-signed Chicago Bulls star Dwyane Wade's long, bitter divorce from his high school sweetheart Siohvaughn Funches still isn't over, at least as far as she's concerned. Funches wants a Cook County judge to throw out her settlement agreement with Wade and give her a larger piece of his basketball earnings, including a slice of the $47 million he's set to be paid by the Bulls.

quote:

So she's suing her own former divorce lawyer, Brian Hurst, for malpractice, alleging he agreed to the deal with Wade without her knowledge. And while Judge Martin Agran on Friday tossed her lawsuit, he offered her the chance to file an amended lawsuit — an opportunity her latest lawyer, Thomas Gooch, says she "absolutely" intends to take.

This would be a big no no if true. But I seriously doubt it can be substantiated.

Isn't the purpose of a lawyer to represent her? Sounds like that's what he did.

She MIGHT have a case if true and she can prove it but I seriously doubt an attorney at that level would fail to cover his arse.

I don't know but it would be funny as hell if they went to trial and she ended up with nothing.

Yes, the system is ridiculously slanted in favor of women.

This seems highly unlikely. Attorneys who represent major cases like this probably aren't that dumb.

That's a new one.

If you get a $5m settlement and end up on the streets, it ain't because Wade didn't pay her enough.

Bitch needs to learn how to handle money.

It's not that difficult to find an attorney in a big city that would take her case on contingency. I mean how many would take a chance of say 25-30% of $50 million for not that much actual work?

Its ridiculous, and you know Wade really hates her or he would of paid her to shut up a long time ago.

guy i know had audio of his wife and her brother hiding assets, moneys, and also talking about if he gets the child, what they would do to him.

His lawyer and he went to hearing with Judge, She said it was all irrelevant, and threw it out, and gave the shite to her, who naturally destroyed it.

He was lucky and got 50/50 parental rights, but he still had to pay child support and her some maintenance for x amount of years.

It was like this judge came from bizarro world.
