Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan have reached a pivotal point in the long-running legal process that followed the end of their marriage. After years of negotiations, recent filings shed light on how the former couple will formally divide one of their most substantial shared assets: their retirement benefits earned during their time together.
Nearly a year after arriving at a broad agreement, both actors took concrete steps this November to formally enforce the terms of their settlement. New court records outline the division of their pension plans, marking one of the last major components of their financial separation.
The pension agreement
One of the most notable elements of their settlement is the division of benefits tied to the Screen Actors Guild-Producers Pension Plan. Documents submitted to the court show that Tatum and Dewan agreed to an even distribution of pension credits accumulated during the span of their marriage—from 2009 until their separation in 2018.
This equal split reflects the time when both were actively building their careers while also navigating life as partners. The pension division serves as recognition of their shared contributions and the intertwined professional success they experienced while married.
Formalizing the settlement
The latest filing formalizes the arrangement they initially reached last year, signaling their intent to close out the remaining financial matters with clarity and fairness. While much of their post-marriage journey has unfolded privately, this development offers insight into the long-term financial decisions that often accompany high-profile divorces.
Moving forward
Both Tatum and Dewan have continued to establish thriving careers and personal lives since their separation. As they complete the final legal steps of their divorce, the settlement marks a significant milestone in their ability to move forward independently while honoring the commitments made during their years together.
