Dwayne Wade and Wife ordered to settle their divorce

Thank Goodness someone in that case has enough sense to stop this madness. The judge in the Wade divorce has ordered the pair to settle their divorce, which has been on going since 2007, saying the kids have been affected by it.

The divorce proceedings involving the onetime high school sweethearts have been going on since 2007 and have been highly contentious at times. Siohvaughn Wade at one point accused her husband of giving her a sexually transmitted disease she claimed he caught during an adulterous affair — a claim that spurred him to file a defamation suit against her. Wade also lost custody of her kids after failing to show up to a very important court hearing. More recently, she accused him in court papers of being involved in a relationship with actress Gabrielle Union, which she said caused “emotional distress” for her and their two sons — ages 3 and 8.

Wade's attorney asked for the divorce to be finalized and the assets to be split later, which will be granted. The divorce will be finalized on Friday and the assets settled later. There is a custody hearing in July 10.

“Mr. Wade has waited patiently for almost three years for this day to arrive,” Pritikin said Tuesday night. “It is in the best interest of the Wade children that their parents’ marriage be dissolved.”
