Overview
- Turner‑Smith described on Hoda Kotb’s Joy 101 podcast on June 29 that she and Joshua Jackson try to be intentional with words for their daughter Juno by framing the split as two loving homes.
- She said children's books are her preferred tool and that she reads many age‑appropriate titles to explain what divorce means and what to expect in two households.
- The couple finalized their divorce in May 2025 and agreed to joint legal and physical custody of Juno with Jackson paying $2,787 a month in child support.
- After a schooling dispute that led Jackson to file an emergency motion, the parents agreed to use a privately appointed judge to resolve future custody and post‑judgment matters through March 4, 2029.
- Both parents say they grew up with divorced families and aim to keep conversations child‑centered and honest, and the private‑judge arrangement means future disagreements will be handled out of the public court docket.
