Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have settled their contentious divorce, more than a year and a half after the “Queen & Slim” actress first filed.
The actors, who met at Jackson’s 2018 birthday bash and married the next year, finally reached a settlement, according to new legal documents obtained Saturday by TMZ.
The 46-year-old “Doctor Odyssey” star and Turner-Smith, 38, settled on a lump sum, agreeing he will pay $2,787 in monthly child support and no spousal support, according to the outlet.
Although a mediator helped them agree on a temporary schedule for joint custody of daughter Juno, 5, the exes have yet to agree on where the little girl will go to school — but the “Agency” star has a location in mind and has ensured its proximity to Jackson.
Turner-Smith hopes a judge will give her the ability to select a school, even as Jackson refuses to sign off — and that Jackson will pay $75,000 for her attorney’s fees regarding the matter.
Just before last Christmas, Turner-Smith claimed Jackson owed her $8,543 per month in back child support and $28,641 per month in back spousal support, after he allegedly bailed on more than a year’s worth of child and spousal support payments since her divorce filing. At the time, she was seeking $250,000 from Jackson in legal fees, in addition to fees for her forensic accountant, who was charged with ferreting out financial misconduct and irregularities.
Jackson, she claimed, “ensured me that I would not have to worry about financial security for our daughter if we ever separated because he said he understood how difficult life can be as a Black woman and a single mother.”
The former couple secretly tied the knot in December 2019. They didn’t have a prenup in place when, in early fall 2023, famed divorce attorney Laura Wasser filed Turner-Smith’s divorce docs, citing irreconcilable differences. They reached a custody agreement in November 2023.
