Is This A Pattern? Siohvaughn Funches’ 12th Lawyer Asks To Be Removed From Case

July 10th, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

It’s starting to seem like Siohvaughn Funches’ difficult disposition isn’t only related to her ex-husband Dwyane Wade. Yesterday a judge was supposed to make a ruling on a request from Wade that Siovaughn be denied any visitation rights after she failed to return her son’s to his custody the day before Father’s Day. But that decision was delayed when Siohvaughn’s lawyer, Michael Haber, who is representing her in both criminal court on misdemeanor charges, including child abduction, and the custody hearing, asked to be removed from the case.

The lawyer’s move is not an unusual one, but what is suspicious is this is the 12th lawyer from the sixth law firm to represent Siohvaughn. On Monday, her lawyer essentially told the judge he couldn’t do it anymore. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, he said:

“Our relationship has broken down to the point that I can no longer represent Ms. Wade. Our interests are adverse to one another.”

Siohvauhgn, on the other hand, doesn’t feel the same. She asked the judge to deny Michael Haber’s request because of his familiarity with the case—he’s her longest-serving attorney to date—and the fact that she’s running out of cash. She stated in court:

 “I beg of you, judge, please. The escrow account is fleeting. It can’t be done.”

She’s going to need someone to back her if a judge is going to believe her claim that an asthma attack on the day she was to return her boys to Dwyane was the cause for the delay. She also alleges that “it’s typical” for D to return their sons late to her custody but somehow those instances have never been seen as a violation of her rights. Dwyane’s attorney James B. Pritikin jumped quickly to his client’s defense, saying flight delays out of Miami are the only cause for any of Dwyane’s late custodial exchanges.

“Mr. Wade has never discouraged that the kids visit their mother. In fact, he’s done everything to encourage it. But [the Father’s Day episode] is not an isolated incident,” he said. “His position is that she has issues, and she needs to deal with those issues.”

Regarding this issue of not having a lawyer, Shiovaughn will have until the end of the week to file a response to her attorney’s plea. The next hearing is scheduled for 1:30 pm Friday. Dwyane’s ex may be better served by therapy to clear her head and then petition to have her rights reinstated once she’s in a better place because things just continue to look worse and worse for her.

    The point is that SHE lost custody of the kids. D.Wade never asked for full custody. He was all for joint custody until she started acting a fool in front of the kids so don’t make excuses for her because even her attorney doesn’t want to be bothered with her. It that D.Wade’s fault too?

    She is a woman scorned.” Hell has no fury like a woman scorned”. If I was her I would move on and find my niche in life. She is so busy with trying to get back at him not wanting her anymore. Do what is right for the babies. move on let your sons see that you are a strong good woman. If he is doing wrong they will soon grow up to see it. I feel that she should seek therapy to help her deal with not being married to D Wade. I am sure its hard he’s in the media. She’s going through the lawyers because she can’t get one to agree with her madness. They trying to represent her cast as in reference to the kids she probably what to talk about what D Wade is doing get help

    She do need some therapy and deliverance. Something is mentally wrong with her for her to go through as many attorneys as she has.

    I just hope things don’t get worse and that she doesn’t do something stupid like hurt the kids! This woman clearly has problems…

  • Common Cent$

    Please stop with the madness he didn’t make her go crazy clearly she already was. She’s been through 12 lawyers in the last 5 or 6 years with her antics. It is clear what’s she needs is to have a psych evaluation and she may be in need of some medication. Again I’m working on not judging other people and she is testing my limits lol.

  • Trisha_B

    She needs therapy. How do you go thru 12 lawyers?

    I feel bad for her. Dewayne Wade needs to sit his @$$ down!!! He still married and technically he committing adultery with Gabby! I would be distraught too if the man I loved and married tried to remove me out of our kids lives forever! Siouhvaughn need to pray for some strength and guidance from the Lord.

      They’re divorced

    • Val

      I feel bad for her also. Siovaughn Wade, Pliar Sanders and Marjorie Harvey had the sorriest divorce attorneys ever. Perhaps those ladies should have hired former divorce attorneys of Juanita Jordan, Sheila Johnson, Elin Woods and/or Katie Holmes. It simply does not make any sense that the ex-husbands have custody of the children and trashed their reputations in the media.

        He didn’t trash her reputation, her behavior did. Her problem is that her focus is more on her hatred of him, instead of on her children. She needs to get herself together so that she can be there for her children. At this point, that is the only thing she needs to focus on.

          Sorry i gave you a vote down by accident the keys on my tablet are tiny…..just wanted to say that I agree wth you!

        I feel bad for her too. I think she got effed over but she has to work it out within herself or she will be in an institution locked in a padded room.

    • student21jrh

      I feel bad for her…I think she needs help. It seems like she hates him more than she loves her kids…I pray she gets the help she needs, she scares me and I don’t even know her. He always states how important he thinks it is that the kids have a relationship with their mother….This is beyond him..just thank God he loves them enough to be a full time dad because I could see her hurting them to get back at him….Glad they are paying attention now before its too late. I pray she gets the help she needs because her kids need her..shes there mother, bad or good they love her….

      Shiovaughn needs to pray for a good psychiatrist. You have to admit, when not just your husband, but a dozen attorney’s quit you, the problem just might be in the mirror, boo.
