Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have finalized their divorce settlement, but they’re still at odds over their daughter’s education.
The Dawson’s Creek alum, 46, and the Queen & Slim actress, 38, have agreed to the terms of their split, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ, though the couple has yet to agree on where their daughter, 4-year-old Juno, will be going to school.
The couple has agreed that they’ll use a mediator to plan a schedule for the 50-50 custody of their daughter, that Joshua will pay $2,787 in child support, and that there will be no monthly spousal support.
In addition to the terms the couple has agreed on, Turner-Smith also claims, in other court documents that Jackson has pushed back on a court order regarding her making the decision tied to where their daughter will go to school.
In the declaration, Turner-Smith said that she and her former husband “participated in a full-day mediation” with a judge in May 2024 and resolved their “temporary custody issues” for their daughter’s 2024-25 school year.
Following the judge’s term with them, both Turner-Smith and Jackson later entered “into a Stipulation and Order to resolve the issue of selection of Juno’s school,” with Turner-Smith writing that it authorized her “to make the final decision” regarding their daughter’s education.
“As such, I have the clear authority to make the school selection in Juno’s best interest, and Josh is refusing to adhere to the terms of the Stipulation and Order and is depriving me of the right to select the school,” she further wrote in the document.
Turner-Smith eventually selected a school she felt “represents a stable and diverse environment where she can thrive both academically and personally,” and informed Jackson that she planned to enroll their daughter there in April, before their child was accepted. After “consistent efforts to meet and confer with Josh in good faith” and while meeting together with an education consultant, Turner-Smith stated that Jackson said he “never intended to honor” the order granting her the authority on the school selection.
In late April, his legal team “challenged my decision-making authority and objected to Juno’s enrollment” at the school and expressed “concerns about drive time,” Turner-Smith wrote.
Turner-Smith is requesting $75,000 in attorney fees over the school disagreement, per the court documents.
The actress filed for divorce from the Fatal Attraction actor in Los Angeles Superior Court after more than three years of marriage in 2023.
