Jodie Turner-Smith Demands Financial Support

In a dramatic turn of events, actress Jodie Turner-Smith is demanding that her estranged husband Joshua Jackson fulfill his financial obligations during their ongoing divorce proceedings. She claims that Jackson has yet to provide any child support or spousal support, breaking a promise he made to her.

Legal Action Filed

In recently filed legal documents, Turner-Smith, alongside her attorney Laura Wasser, is urging the court to mandate that Jackson begin making monthly payments. According to Turner-Smith, she requests $8,543 per month for child support for their four-year-old daughter, Juno. Additionally, she is seeking $28,641 per month in spousal support to maintain her and their child’s well-being during the divorce process.

Background of the Divorce

The tension between the couple began when Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023. Notably, she checked a box to prevent the court from awarding spousal support to either party. However, circumstances have apparently shifted since then. Turner-Smith has expressed that she has made efforts to keep the divorce amicable, but she feels that Jackson is prolonging the process and soaring her legal costs, making it increasingly difficult for her to provide for both herself and their daughter.

Claims of Broken Promises

Turner-Smith claims that during their relationship, Jackson earned substantially more as a Hollywood star and reassured her of his commitment to support her financially if their marriage ended. She indicates that he made commitments recognizing the unique challenges she would face as a Black woman and a single mother. However, she accuses him of going back on those assurances by offering a settlement far lower than what she believes to be fair and necessary.

Request for Additional Funds

Moreover, beyond child and spousal support, Turner-Smith seeks an additional $250,000 from Jackson to cover her attorney fees and forensic accounting costs associated with the divorce.

Public Reaction and Implications

As the couple’s public separation continues to unfold, fans are left wondering how this high-profile dispute will resolve, especially given the implications it has for their daughter’s future and Turner-Smith’s financial stability. Will Joshua Jackson step up to meet his obligations, or will this battle escalate even further in the courtroom? Stay tuned for updates!
