Joshua Jackson 'ideally' wants 'exactly equal' contact time with daughter
Joshua Jackson "ideally" wants his daughter's time to be split "exactly equally" between himself and Jodie Turner-Smith.
The former Dawson's Creek star has filed a motion asking the court to intervene in a dispute over where four-year-old Juno will go to school, and as part of his submission, an emotional note he had written to his former spouse, in which he objected to the youngster being away from him for weeks at a time, was included.
According to Us Weekly, Joshua wants Juno to stay at her current school because the one Jodie wants to send her to is further away from his current home, and he also objected to the Queen + Slim star's plan to take their daughter to London for five weeks while she is working overseas.
He wrote: 'Thank you for your quick response. I am happy that we are having this dialogue and look forward to coming to an agreement together that balances all of [Juno's] needs to provide her with the best outcome possible.
'I am open to Juno being with you any time you may be able to return to Los Angeles [during your time working in London]. 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.
'At this age four weeks is an eternity to her. I understand why you are willing to agree to have Juno be based in Los Angeles during that time, it reduces the stress of air travel and time zone shifting on her.'
The 46-year-old actor disagreed with Jodie's claim that Juno wouldn't have any time with him for six weeks.
He wrote: 'Thankfully this summer I have the ability to travel, thereby reducing the need for Juno to incur additional travel while still being able to provide her with a frequent, continuing and meaningful contact with both parents.
'I think that maximizing that frequent, continuing and meaningful contact should be our guiding light [through] all of these conversations and planning of parenting time. Juno needs both of us. Ideally exactly equally.'
Joshua went on to raise issues with Jodie's planned trip to Morocco with their daughter.
He wrote: 'I do not agree for Juno to travel with you to Morocco. I will need much more information, dates, places, hotels, security, your work [schedule] etc and a meaningful discussion with [you] prior to considering any specific travel to Morocco or anywhere else for that matter.'
The point saw the Doctor Odyssey star raise an "issue" he claimed had happened last year when Jodie had "let me know about your travel plans with her only after Juno was on her way to London or already there.'
The note also addressed research Jodie had presented about biracial children and their relationship with their mother.
Joshua wrote: 'I have read some articles about this, but I am always willing to educate myself further if you can send me some links or citations. I am already in agreement that the mother/daughter relationship is of huge importance.
"I recognise that there are areas of Juno's experience that I cannot touch or speak to from my own experience.
'I hope you agree that the father/daughter relationship is also of huge importance.'

Blake Lively's sister Robyn is 'proud' of her
Blake Lively's sibling Robyn will always be "proud" of her. The 37-year-old actress has shared a series of supportive messages from Twin Peaks star Robyn, 53, after a judge dismissed It Ends With Us actor Justin Baldoni's countersuit against her, after Blake had accused him of causing her "severe emotional distress". In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, Robyn - who did not mention the lawsuits - shared family photos of them over the years. She wrote: "I held you then... now... and always. "No one knows you quite like I do, and man am I ever proud of you ... I love you sister." Blake shared the posts with her own Instagram followers with Donna Lewis' song I Love You Always Forever playing in the background. Referencing the track, she wrote: "I love you more. Always. Forever. Near or far. Closer together." This week, Judge Lewis J. Liman granted a motion to dismiss Justin's $400 million lawsuit against Blake and her husband Ryan Reynolds, as he accused them of extortion and defamation. While the lawsuit was dismissed, it was noted that his legal team have until June 23 to amend claims of breach of implied contract and tortious interference with contract, if they want to. Justin's attorney Bryan Freedman has stressed they still have things to fight for and will be amending their complaint. He told Us Weekly in a statement: 'Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling. 'While the Court dismissed the defamation-related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations. "This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' Following the judge's ruling, Blake vowed to keep fighting for other women. She wrote on Instagram: "Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. "While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back. "I'm more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story. "There are protections out there. Check out some of the incredible organizations below for resources and information. "With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you. "- B (sic)"

Justin Baldoni will continue legal battle with Blake Lively
Justin Baldoni intends to keep going with his legal battle with Blake Lively. The 41-year-old actor previously launched a $400 million countersuit against his It Ends with Us co-star, her husband Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane - the couple's publicist - and the New York Times newspaper, after she accused her former co-star of causing her "severe emotional distress", but on Monday (09.06.25), Judge Lewis J. Liman dismissed his lawsuit. However, his attorney Bryan Freedman stressed they still have things to fight for and will be amending their complaint. He told Us Weekly in a statement: 'Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling. 'While the Court dismissed the defamation-related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations. "This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' And the lawyer is "confident" Justin can still win his court battle. He added: 'Most importantly, Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle and look forward to her forthcoming deposition, which I will be taking. We are grateful for the organic show of support from the public and for the dedication of the Internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity.' Following the judge's ruling, Blake vowed to keep fighting for other women. She wrote on Instagram: "Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.

Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you. "- B (sic)" Blake's post featured links to organisations such as the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, New York Cyber Abuse Task Force, Women's Equal Justice, and Women's Justice NOW. Meanwhile, Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, the Gossip Girl star's attorneys, hailed the judge's ruling as a "complete vindication" for the actress. They said in a statement obtained by People: "Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times." The attorneys described Justin's countersuit - which was aimed at Blake, her husband Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane, the couple's publicist, and the New York Times newspaper - as a "sham". They continued: "As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the court saw right through it. "We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, [Steve] Sarowitz, [Melissa] Nathan and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation."
