It's been said that divorce can be as painful as a death in the family. When there are kids involved and their parents can't reach an amicable agreement when it comes to visitation it's even worse.

The courts generally set rules for visitation, alimony, child support payments and the distribution of marital assets, but even then problems can still arise.

Case in point; the Dwayne Wade/Siohvaughn Funches-Wade divorce. In 2011, Wade was awarded custody of their two children, Zaire and Zion, with Funches receiving visitation every other weekend and on certain holidays.

As part of the divorce agreement, Funches-Wade was supposed to be paid a $1 milliondollar settlement, plus $25,000 a month and an additional $10,000 a month in living and travel expenses as a part of their 2008 agreement.

Pretty nice settlement on paper right? Well,according to Funches-Wade she is not seeing very much of that money.

She has filed a new lawsuit claiming that funds from Wade’s endorsement deals with T-Mobile, Staples, Gatorade and Li Ning are not being deposited in joint account controlled by both of them, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

In the lawsuit Funches-Wades' attorney, William P. Suriano, claims his client has been unable to pay her mortgage or home or auto insurance. They are seeking $2 million in damages from Wade, his attorney, a financial adviser and the four companies involved in the endorsement deals.

In 2009, Funches-Wade sued Dwayne for allegedly giving her a sexually transmitted disease (STD) contracted through an through an extramarital affair. Wade sued his his ex-wife and two of her lawyers for defamation. Funches-Wade later dropped her lawsuit.

On Friday (July 19), Funches held a press conference/demonstration on the streets of Chicago to detail issues regarding the way Wade has been treating her.

She says the NBA star has scheduled a basketball camp for Zaire during her visitation time. She also claims that the parenting coordinator, Howard Rosenberg, told her if she doesn't allow her son to participate in the basketball tournament he would ask the judge to not allow her to see her kids again. Funches-Wade says she has email proof.

Funches-Wade also alleges that her own lawyer has cut deals for financial settlements with Wade behind without her permission.

This situation just seems to be getting worse by the day. The only hope is that the parents can set aside their differences and put the children first.
