    Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith have called off their divorce trial

    The 47-year-old actor and the 39-year-old actress - who married in 2019 and split in 2023 - had been due to go to trial this week but asked that it be cancelled as they had been privately working on a custody deal for their five-year-old daughter Juno


    Jodie's lawyer explained in court papers, obtained by Us Weekly: "[Turner-Smith and Jackson] are in the process of negotiating a custody judgment.

    "The parties will return to the [a private judge they hired] to resolve any impasses in the proposed custody judgment."

    Jodie filed for divorce in October 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences".

    In her initial petition, she requested joint custody of and asked that neither party be awarded spousal support.

    The pair agreed a divorce settlement after working with a mediator to create a temporary schedule for the 50-50 custody of Juno, but they hit a roadblock when they were unable to agree on where the youngster will be educated.

    According to documents obtained by TMZ, Jodie wanted a judge to force the 'Dr. Odyssey' actor to abide by a court order giving her the power to choose Juno's elementary school.

    She wanted the youngster to move somewhere new next year and, after researching the school, spoke with Joshua about it and made sure it was close enough to his home, but claimed he has refused to agree.

    In December, Jodie accused her estranged husband of not giving her any child support while their divorce case was still pending.

    In the paperwork, Jodie claimed she has been trying to keep their separation amicable but accused her estranged husband of dragging things out, unnecessarily increasing her legal bills, and making it impossible to support their daughter without his financial assistance.
