A Cook County judge has agreed to grant a divorce for NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade and his estranged wife, ending more than two years of contention, Wade's lawyer said.
Judge Marya Nega will grant the divorce between Dwyane Wade and Siohvaughn Wade in court on Friday, and save custody and assets proceedings for a later date, said Jim Pritikin, Dwyane Wade's divorce attorney.
"Mr. Wade has waited patiently for almost three years for this day to arrive," Pritikin said Tuesday night. "It is in the best interest of the Wade children that their parents' marriage be dissolved."
Last month, Nega slammed Siohvaughn Wade after she fired her ninth lawyer, saying the case would be moving forward. The divorce battle also has spawned various other lawsuits.
A custody hearing is scheduled for July 19, Pritikin said.
