The pending divorce of Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade and wife Siohvaughn is getting ugly.According to the Miami Herald, the NBA star's soon-to-be ex accuses him, via legal papers, of abandoning his children, committing adultery, and infecting her with an unspecified sexually transmitted disease. Now, she's demanding he reveal the names of "all of his sexual partners" during their six-year marriage.Wade petitioned for the divorce last May in Illinois, six years after the pair wed in Chicago in May of 2002.In response to the allegations, the baller's attorney, James Pritikin, issued a statement, denying them. "These malicious allegations are absolutely false and we look forward to the opportunity to dispute them in court," he said.Both are 27, and have two boys together -- 6-year-old Zaire, and 1-year-old Zion. Since separating last year, Siohvaughn has moved back to Chicago with the kids.While Wade's Heat salary is somewhere around $14 million and makes millions more from endorsements, Siohvaughn claims to have been cut off financially.She says that the ball player spends millions on family members and friends, but she and the kids have been left to fend for themselves.Siohvaughn, according to the Herald, said that Wade has gone "months" without seeing his child, and that "failure to spend time with them ... has resulted in the children at times being afraid of him; in fact, Zion . . . does not recognize or know Dwyane."She is seeking sole custody, and support.While Wade's attorney's call Siohvaughn an "angry and bitter woman" who's trying to "publicly damage Mr. Wade," her lawyer offered that "a person's public persona does not necessarily reflect his behavior in private."
