Joshua Jackson filed a motion requesting an emergency custody order modification on May 30, alleging that ex-wife Jodie Turner-Smith enrolled their 5-year-old daughter Juno in a new school for kindergarten this fall without his permission and outside of the agreed-upon 45 minute commute from his house.
In his filing, JJ alleged JTS hadn’t checked with him before enrolling Juno in a new school, violating a prior agreement stating she could choose Juno’s school if they could not agree to one. He further detailed his and his ex-wife’s differing beliefs when it comes to their daughter’s education, citing a text from JTS in which she said Juno’s academic experience doesn’t “require a fixed location” and expressed she could use tutors and remote learning.
JJ expressed concern JTS “is attempting to create a scenario where Juno travels with her rather than attending a traditional school…Even in the best case it cannot begin to provide a child with the same nurturing and enrichment, peer relationships and social skills that a classroom and school community environment provides.”
He also said Juno is flourishing in her current school and has too many personal changes to her life recently, including her parents’ divorce and her primary home burning down in the Los Angeles fires.
