Joshua Jackson and his estranged wife Jodie Turner-Smith have called off their divorce trial over custody issues, UsWeekly reported on Friday.
Turner-Smith’s legal team filed court documents on Tuesday that asked that their October 15 trial date be canceled, the site claimed.
The 39-year-old actress shared that she has been privately working on a custody deal with the 47-year-old actor over their daughter Juno, aged five, court papers seen by the outlet explained.
‘[Turner-Smith and Jackson] are in the process of negotiating a custody judgment,’ her lawyer stated in the court documents.
‘The parties will return to the [a private judge they hired] to resolve any impasses in the proposed custody judgment.’
DailyMail.com has reached to reps for both Jackson and Turner-Smith but has yet to hear back.

Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023 citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ and requested joint custody with neither getting spousal support, according to a report from People.
They seemed close to a custody arrangement in May but then bickered over what school Juno would go to and if the kid would travel with mom for long periods of time, according toa report from TMZ.
‘I don’t think it’s good for Juno to go for as long as you have proposed without seeing either parent, whenever it is reasonably possible for us to avoid without putting undue stress on Juno,’ wrote Jackson earlier this year in court papers seen by the outlet. He added, ‘Juno needs both of us.’
In the letter included in the documents, Jackson also objected to Turner-Smith’s planned trip to Morocco but Turner-Smith said the child was ‘excited about our travel plans, and I believe this stretch of time will allow her to feel deeply grounded.’
Joshua and the British model started dating in 2018 and secretly married the following year before welcoming baby Juno in 2020.
Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023, and in the filing said their date of separation was the month prior, according to People.
In legal documents seen by TMZ in May, it was claimed that Jackson will pay $2,787 each month in child support but he will not be paying monthly spousal support.
Turner-Smith also requested Jackson pay her $75,000 for the attorney’s fees she incurred in their legal fight over where the child will go to school, according to the site.

The Doctor Odyssey star and his ex went to a mediator to compromise on a temporary schedule to govern the 50-50 custody of their daughter, the site also claimed after seeing the documents.
The pair have reportedly been in a legal battle since Turner-Smith filed for divorce two years ago.
She listed their date of separation as September 2023 in court papers seen by TMZ and cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ in her reason for filing.
In February 2024 she broke her silence about their divorce to The Sunday Times.
She said she wanted to ‘make a move because I believe that there are visible scars from staying in places that are not good for us.
