Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum‘s legal teams are exchanging barbs amid an ongoing legal battle over the proceeds of the Magic Mike franchise.
The Hollywood couple filed for divorce in 2018 and are still ironing out details.
Earlier this year, Jenna asked for a separate trial to deal with Magic Mike, accusing her partner of “dilut[ing] and conceal[ing] the value” of the franchise, which she described as his “big break” in the industry.
Months later, their standoff continues with new developments. Meanwhile, a source provided an update on where the exes stand outside the courtroom.

In court documents obtained by People, Jenna has asked to have Channing‘s legal team dismissed, citing a “conflict of interest.” On Wednesday (August 28), she filed new paperwork, saying that the actor was using “every trick in the book to stall this case from getting to a trail.”
The documents allege that he is also “depriving Jenna of a fair and equal share of the community estate, and he is prejudicing her every day that this case continues.”
Channing‘s team also filed documents, accusing her of delaying the trial.
They claimed that Channing “has made exhaustive efforts to settle all issues in this matter without litigation. He has made countless settlement proposals, attended multiple mediations, his attorneys have prepared numerous drafts of a proposed judgment, and he has tried to resolve issues directly.”
His team described her request as “a frivolous filing that has no basis in law or fact” and accused her team of missing deadlines for discovery.
They are seeking sanctions of $20,000.
Despite the battle, an insider said that Jenna and Channing are leaving the legal battle to their teams.
“They are still hashing out financials,” they explained. “They let their lawyers handle it. Their main focus is still their daughter. They co-parent well.”
Find out why Jenna is reportedly eager to find a settlement with Channing.
