Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner‑Smith Call Off Custody Trial, Pursue Private Resolution

The former couple will negotiate a custody judgment privately, with a temporary judge resolving any roadblocks.

Overview

  • On Oct. 14, Turner‑Smith’s attorney asked the court to remove the Oct. 15 trial from the calendar, according to filings obtained by multiple outlets.
  • Court documents say the pair are negotiating a custody judgment and will return to a privately compensated temporary judge to settle any impasses.
  • Unresolved issues include their 5‑year‑old daughter Juno’s school placement and Turner‑Smith’s proposed extended travel with her.
  • Jackson previously sought emergency orders to keep Juno at her current school and to require joint parental consent for any future school change.
  • Their divorce was finalized in May 2025 with Jackson paying $2,787 per month in child support, though custody specifics are still being worked out.
