According to the Chicago Tribune, the contentious divorce proceedings between NBA star Dwyane Wade and his estranged wife Siovaughn Funches-Wade will draw to a close on Friday.

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.”

In an earlier court proceeding, the judge granted Wade temporary custody of his two sons, who are 3 and 8.

Last month, Judge Nega slammed Siohvaughn Wade in open court after she fired her ninth lawyer. The judge had issued a bench warrant for Siovaughn Wade’s arrest after she missed a custody hearing. Wade later turned herself in and paid the $10,000 bond.

The next custody hearing is scheduled for July 19.
