Dwayne Wade Wins Custody Of Kids

After a long and painful custody battle with ex wife Siohvaughn, Dwayne Wade was finally awarded custody of their two sons.
As in any case like this, the losing party is devastated. Wade’s wife will only be able to see her sons on alternating weekends, holidays and for half of the summer.
Said Siohvaughn:

“Unfortunately I think the court got it wrong and it’s not in the best interest of these children and fails to recognize that Siohvaughn Wade has been a wonderful mother and a provider for these children, educationally, emotionally and physically. Mr. Wade, while well-intentioned, just does not have the ability to parent these children.”

Wade is obviously happy with the decision and has been preparing to take on near-full-time fathering duties for a while.
Said Wade:

“My life changed in a huge way. Mentally, I’ve been preparing for it for over a year now. To me, it’s bigger than that. For me, it shows a lot of people that you need to fight to be in your kids’ lives sometimes. You fight until you can’t fight any more. That’s all I was trying to be, a father in his kids’ lives. I think them living here, being here, it’s a great opportunity for them and I’m looking forward to it for them, to grow up with me and us learning together, how to be father-son. So I’m excited.”

There’s rarely a right answer in these cases, so we hope that both parents do the responsible thing and do what’s best for the children, and not just for themselves.
