Celeb Couple Calls Off Divorce Trial, Negotiate Custody Deal
17 Oct
Summary
- Turner-Smith, 39, and Jackson, 47, postpone divorce trial scheduled for October 15
- Couple negotiating custody agreement for their daughter Juno with a private judge
- Disagreement over daughter's school and overseas travel plans led to previous disputes
On October 14, 2025, actress Jodie Turner-Smith and her estranged husband, actor Joshua Jackson, informed the court that they have postponed their divorce trial, which was scheduled to begin the following day. The couple is currently in the process of negotiating a custody agreement for their daughter Juno outside of the courtroom.
Turner-Smith and Jackson have been engaged in a legal battle for several months, with the Tron: Ares actress filing for divorce in October 2023 citing "irreconcilable differences." The exes briefly came to an agreement in May 2025, but their dispute reignited when they were unable to agree on which school their daughter should attend.
Now, the former couple has hired a private judge to help them resolve any remaining issues in the proposed custody judgment. Turner-Smith's lawyer stated that the parties are working to reach a resolution, with the goal of providing their daughter with "as much stability, consistency and meaningful time with both of us as possible."

Despite their previous disagreements, it appears that Turner-Smith and Jackson are making progress in finding a mutually acceptable arrangement for co-parenting their child. The decision to postpone the divorce trial and seek a private resolution suggests that the former spouses are prioritizing the well-being of their daughter during this challenging time.
