Didn't like $5M divorce deal? Then you shouldn't have spent it, Dwyane Wade's ex told
If Dwyane Wade's ex-wife didn't like the $5.125 million-plus divorce settlement she got from the Chicago Bulls star, she shouldn't have started spending it.
That's the argument of her 13th and possibly final former divorce attorney, who is asking a judge to throw out a malpractice lawsuit Siohvaughn Funches filed against him.
Funches wants Cook County Judge Martin Agran to find that lawyer Brian Hurst tricked her into signing a deal with Wade, her high school sweetheart from south suburban Robbins. The marathon fight over the divorce entered its 10th year in November.
But court papers filed this week say Funches gave up her right to complain when she gave away an $80,000 BMW and two homes she received in the 2013 settlement.

"13th and possibly final former divorce attorney"
so, just knowing she went through literally a dozen lawyers before settling on this one, i'd hazard a guess that her malpractice suit might well be pretty weak....
that said, i'm not sure i buy the argument that her case is meritless simply because she used used or disposed of some of the contested estate. especially if that's not the part of the settlement she was complaining about, which isn't clear.
