Celebrity divorces are rarely clean, but this one has gotten especially dirty.
Jodie Turner-Smith has accused Joshua Jackson of demanding sole legal custody of their four-year-old daughter, Juno, and failing to provide any child or spousal support since their separation in 2023.
In documents filed February 3, 2025 and obtained by E! News, Turner-Smith claims that Jackson has paid "$0 in guideline child/or spousal support" since the couple's separation. She added that "even though, he, at the onset of this case, hired two law firms to represent him on custody issues, seeking full legal custody of Juno".
The 38-year-old said she has done "everything" to resolve the issues but "to no avail."
"At this point, it is clear that Josh is unwilling to negotiate reasonable pendente lite spousal and child support payments to me," the filing read. "I am left with no choice but to seek this Court's intervention and file the instant motion."

Turner-Smith is seeking $8,543 monthly in child support, $28,641 in monthly spousal support, and $250,000 for legal fees.
She went on to allege that Jackson prioritised his career during their marriage, and in turn, she took on the brunt of childcare and her acting career took a backseat.
"During our marriage, I spent a significant amount of time as the primary caretaker to Juno while Josh continued to advance in his acting career," Turner-Smith wrote.
