Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith Face New Showdown Over Their Daughter in Divorce Battle

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have hit another roadblock in their ongoing divorce proceedings.

The exes, who were married from 2019 to 2023, are reportedly facing a new court showdown amid their divorce battle, as they seemingly can’t agree on where to send their 5-year-old daughter to school.

According to docs obtained by TMZ, the pair are on the same page when it comes to most of their terms, but Jackson, 46, won’t budge on their daughter’s elementary school.

As a result, Turner-Smith, 38, reportedly wants the judge to force Jackson into adhering to a court order that gives her the power to pick their child’s place of education. In docs reportedly filed by her attorney, Laura Wasser, the actress said she wants their daughter to move to a new school next year, but Jackson isn’t onboard. She claimed she researched the new school, conferred with him about it and made sure it was close enough to his home — but he’s still reportedly refusing to agree to a switch-up.

Us Weekly has reached out to both parties for comment.

According to the legal docs, Jackson and Turner-Smith used a mediator to come up with a temporary schedule to govern the 50-50 custody of their daughter. He will allegedly pay $2,787 a month in child support with no monthly spousal support, as they settled on a lump sum. She is also asking Jackson to pay $75,000 for her attorney fees related to the school battle.

Jackson recently spoke about his “important” role as a father in an April 22 interview with Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his “Dinner’s on Me” podcast.

“If I ever did anything to estrange my daughter from myself, I would be in duress,” Jackson said. “I actually can’t conceive of it because I don’t even wanna think of the pain that that would be.”

The Doctor Odyssey star continued: “Regardless of how messy the divorce is, beautiful the divorce is, easy [or] hard the co-parenting is … I think this generation of dads is understanding, like, ‘I need to be here. It’s gonna be hard, but this is important, and I’ve got to do this.’ It’s my job — shared with my ex-wife — to do everything that we can to nurture you, cultivate you and give you all the tools that you need in life.”
