Jodie Turner-Smith Seeks Child Support from Ex-Joshua Jackson
Acclaimed actress Jodie Turner-Smith is escalating her legal battle with ex-husband Joshua Jackson, accusing him of not following through with his financial obligations. Turner-Smith claims she has not received child support or spousal support payments from her former husband, despite him allegedly promising to ensure her financial security.
To address this issue, Turner-Smith and her attorney, renowned divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, have filed new legal documents. These documents are asking the court to compel Joshua to start making the promised monthly support payments.
Details of the Financial Claims
Turner-Smith is requesting $8,543 per month in child support for her four-year-old daughter, Juno, and an additional $28,641 per month in spousal support while their divorce proceedings continue.
Prior Legal Stipulations and Changes
In her initial divorce filings in October 2023, Turner-Smith chose to block the court from awarding spousal support to both her and Jackson. However, circumstances have changed, leading Turner-Smith to seek new terms in their financial agreement.
Turner-Smith asserts that she has been attempting to maintain an amicable separation but claims Jackson is prolonging the process unnecessarily. This delay is raising her attorney’s fees, hindering her ability to support her daughter and herself.
Promises and Unfulfilled Agreements
In her court documents, Turner-Smith recalls that Jackson made significantly more money in their Hollywood careers. She points out his promise to always provide financial support for her and their daughter, assuring her that she wouldn’t face financial insecurity in case of separation. Turner-Smith feels this promise is now being reneged upon.
Turner-Smith argues that Jackson is trying to settle for less than what she believes she deserves based on his promises and their financial circumstances.
Additional Requests for Financial Relief
Beyond child support and spousal support, Turner-Smith is requesting the court to order Jackson to pay $250,000 towards her attorney’s fees and forensic accounting costs.
The legal team representing Joshua Jackson has not responded to attempts for comment. This ongoing legal battle highlights the complexities and financial negotiations that can occur during high-profile divorces.
