Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith are taking their custody battle to a whole new level—by hiring a private judge. This move could keep things on track regarding custody arrangements for their daughter, Juno, who’s in for a wild ride through the legal maze. The private judge will oversee their custody issues until March 2029, so let’s hope Juno has a smooth sailing childhood amidst all this adult drama.
Post-divorce, both Jackson and Turner-Smith agreed to share joint custody of Juno, born in April 2020, and they’re set to avoid any spousal support—a refreshing change during turbulent times. Jackson will be shelling out $2,787 a month in child support, a figure that might cause a few eyebrows to raise, but it’s a commitment to keeping Juno’s best interests at heart.
They’ve each managed to retain their own assets and earnings, which is always a good sign for amicable co-parenting. It seems this couple is determined to make things work for the sake of their daughter, even if it means spending time in court. Let’s just hope parenting discussions don’t turn into courtroom dramas anytime soon!
