In a new filing DWade vehemently denies the claims...
From Radar Online
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, Wade has filed a declaration as part of his petition on behalf of Zaya.
In court documents, Wade said he had the “full authority” to make decisions on behalf of Zaya per a 2011 court order from their bitter divorce. The ex-NBA star was awarded full custody of his 2 sons.
However, weeks after Wade filed his petition, Funches objected to the gender and name change. She accused Wade of violating their custody agreement by not communicating with her about the matter.
She suggested Wade “may be pressuring our child to move forward with the name and gender change in order to capitalize on the financial opportunities that he has received from companies.”
Now, in a new filing, Wade addressed the accusations and once again asks the court to approve the petition.
He writes, “Zaya has identified as Zaya since she was twelve years old, and she now wants to legally and officially change her name and gender to conform with how she identifies. I believe it is in Zaya’s best interest for her official documents to reflect who she is and how she sees herself, both in terms of her name and gender.”
Wade added, “I object to the allegation that anyone is “pressuring or incentivizing” Zaya to proceed with this petition. I further object to any allegations that suggests this Petition was motivated by financial gain or the pursuit of fame.”
In totally unrelated news, Zaya is featured in the new Puma Forever Classic campaign.
