Monday, May 5, 2025 -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.
