The actor added, “I request the court to reject the plaintiff’s RFO and set trial dates for all issues in this matter.”
Tatum explained his objection, arguing that it would be “easier, take less time, and cost less in attorney and expert fees” if all the disputed issues were addressed in a single proceeding.
In addition to arguing against splitting the trial, Tatum also reached out to Dewan about potentially asking him for spousal support during the trial, telling the court he didn’t think the request was “appropriate” because the Both have been married for less than ten years, have been separated for more than five years and Dewan has been separated ever since get engaged to Steve KazeeAnd you are are currently expecting their second child together.
