Siohvaughn Funches-Wade claimed in court documents that Dwayne Wade did not consult her about the decision to legally change their daughter's name to Zaya.
"Since this must be a new way of parenting, I guess I have to address these allegations here, which is a damn shame," he wrote.
"While none of us are surprised by Siohvaughn's attempt to fight Zaya's identity and her unwavering attempt to drag me through the mud, I'm very disappointed that she continuously finds ways of centering herself and HER needs without regard to her children," he continued. Wade said his ex-wife has attempted to damage him in the past, and he was awarded sole custody of their two children as an active NBA player. He alleged Funches-Wade does not have a relationship with Zaya.
