Siohvaughn Funches, who was Wade's high school sweetheart, wants a judge to throw out her 2013 settlement and give her more of his basketball earnings, including the $47 million he's set to be paid by his new team, the Chicago Bulls.
Siohvaughn Funches asked a judge to throw out her settlement agreement with Wade, and give her a larger portion of his basketball earnings, including part of his new contract.

Funches is suing her former divorce lawyer, Brian Hurst, for malpractice, alleging he agreed to the deal with Wade without her knowledge, the Tribune reports.
Hurst denied the claims to the Tribune on Thursday. On Friday Judge Martin Agran threw out her lawsuit.
But he did offer her the chance to file an amended lawsuit, and Funches’s new lawyer, Thomas Gooch, says she “absolutely” intends to do so.
Wade and Funches married in 2002. Wade filed for divorce in 2007 and the court made the split official in 2010. The former Miami Heat guard won sole custody of their two children, Zaire and Zion, in 2011.

Judge Martin Agran reportedly tossed out the lawsuit, but allowed her the opportunity to file an amended lawsuit.
The lawsuit, which does not name Wade as a defendant, claims Hurst "failed miserably" to represent her, and required her "to remain out of the conference room where negotiations were taking place" and "informed the court falsely" that she agreed to the deal.
She says she was not aware of all the terms in the settlement.
Hurst denied that he kept Funches in the dark.
