Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan’s protracted divorce case continues to unfold with new twists and turns. Tatum recently responded to Dewan’s latest legal maneuver, accusing her of employing delay tactics and requesting that her motion be denied. This legal battle, which has been ongoing since their separation in 2018, reflects the complexities and emotional strain that often accompany high-profile divorces.
The Recent Legal Dispute
On August 28, 2024, E! News reported that Tatum has taken a firm stance against Dewan’s recent filing, which seeks to disqualify his legal team from representing him. Tatum’s response, detailed in court documents, claims that Dewan’s motion is a “delay tactic” aimed at diverting attention and prolonging the case. He argues that her request lacks legal merit and is intended solely to stall the proceedings.
Tatum, known for his roles in “Magic Mike” and “Step Up,” accuses Dewan of filing her motion three months before their scheduled trial, suggesting that this is a strategic move to delay the case. He emphasizes that his lawyers have never represented Dewan, thus they do not possess any confidential information that could unfairly influence the trial. This, he argues, makes her motion “frivolous” and without substantive grounds.
