Channing Tatum & his ex

CLove's picture

FWIW I used to really love Channing Tatum and his, em, work.

But really - taking the kid 5 days out of school? I resent just 1 day for no reason. Toxic Troll had Munchkin go look for apartments and took her out of school for a day for this.

And facetiming EVERY DAY? That would make me reall unhappy. To have to hear Toxic Trolls voice on the phone during a phone conversation irks me. Facetiming the other parent during our visitation seems like an intrusion.

The other items seem reasonable...I cant help wondering if Jenna is THAT BM or is he THAT BD?

Channing Tatum is looking to make some revisions to the child custody arrangement he has with his ex, Jenna Dewan, over their 6-year-old daughter, Everly. 

After reportedly finalizing his divorce with Dewan last week, the 39-year-old actor filed a request on Monday that he and his ex meet with a counselor once a month to help schedule their time with Everly and assist in resolving any of their co-parenting issues. 

"Due to our professions, our schedules are constantly changing, and flexibility is needed to ensure that we are both able to work and be able to have equal time with Everly," Tatum states in the legal docs obtained by ET. "We have had difficulty navigating these accommodations without assistance, which has led to both confusion and conflict."

Tatum further explains his request, "In an effort to avoid any unnecessary confusion and conflict going forward, I believe it is necessary for Petitioner and me to work with a co-parenting counselor to assist us with making modifications to the custodial schedule as needed, as we have not been able to do so effectively."

In the docs, the Magic Mike star is requesting that each parent be allowed to travel with their daughter throughout the United States without the other parent's consent. They would, however, have to get the approval of the other parent if they traveled outside the U.S. with Everly.

Tatum is also requesting that he and Dewan both be allowed to take Everly out of school for up to five days if it pertains to their work or a special occasion. On top of that, Tatum is asking that they alternate or equally divide the holidays and vacation periods, and that each parent be able to FaceTime with Everly every day. 

He would also like him and Dewan to use OurFamilyWizard.com, a co-parenting tool, when sharing information about Everly's health, safety, welfare and education.

Finally, Tatum is requesting that no parent be authorized to use Everly's name, image or likeness for any paid or for-profit sponsorship, ad, campaign or partnership, including on any form of social media or other media without consent from the other parent.

This is not the first time that Tatum has gone to the courts to discuss his custody agreement with Dewan. In January, Tatum requested that he and his ex split their time with Everly during the week and alternate weekends with each other. When it comes to holidays, Tatum suggested that they each get multiple weeks in the summer, alternate Christmas celebrations, and take New Year's Eve every other year. He further proposed that they spend Halloween together and either plan a joint celebration for Everly's May birthday or split the day in half.

Tatum and Dewan broke up in April 2018 and have both moved on romantically. Tatum is now seeing British pop singer Jessie J, while Dewan is in a relationship with actor Steve Kazee, and is pregnant with his baby. 

Dewan recently opened up about her split from Tatum in her book, Gracefully You: Finding Beauty and Balance in the Everyday.

"I was never challenged by anything more than I was by having to find grace during my divorce," she wrote. "Not only was I fighting an emotional battle of having to let go and move forward in life, I was learning things about my ex most people wouldn't have to face -- and over the internet as it was happening."

ET has reached out to reps for Dewan and Tatum for comment.

I dunno, asides from the daily FaceTime & spending Halloween together I don’t see an issue with a lot of the things he’s requested. A monthly counselling session might be a little much long term but they haven’t been divorced that long & it sounds like there’s been conflict, short term that might be a good idea until they sort out a routine for sharing time.

Celebrities aren't normal people. All of his requests AS A CELEBRITY seem reasonable to me.

I think the same. They probably have private tutors or whatever to make up for the missing school anyway.

I'm curios if he had to implement this because she is high conflict.  He's doing the right thing getting a well spelled out CO in order and he wants communication through our family wizard.  I read it that she's a GUBM who dicks him around and now that she's got a new sucker...errr man and baby on the way she's probably trying to cut him out of his kids life.

I take my kids out of school for vacation almost every year. They are allowed to miss 10 days per our school guidelines. I see no issues with it.

As for the rest, I can't blame him. She really trashed him in her book so him covering bases wanted OFW and a mediator to reduce conflict seems smart. He doesn't want her ruining his career.
