Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are still embroiled in a divorce legal battle over profits from Magic Mike.

Dewan, 43, has alleged in court filings that Tatum, 44, is "attempting to blur the lines" around Magic Mike intellectual property, which her legal team maintains was developed during their relationship and co-financed with marital funds. Tatum’s legal team has previously said he has never hidden finances or denied Dewan “her share of the community assets or income."

Earlier this month, Dewan requested that Tatum's legal team be dismissed, which Tatum's team claimed was a "delay tactic." On Aug. 28, Dewan's legal team filed new documents accusing Tatum of using "every trick in the book to stall this case from getting to a trial" and is "depriving Jenna of a fair and equal share of the community estate, and he is prejudicing her every day that this case continues."

In court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Aug. 28, Tatum's lawyers called Dewan’s latest filing “solely designed to delay the upcoming trial.”

Since their divorce filing came in 2018, Tatum’s lawyers said he “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.”

Tatum's court filing was in response to Dewan’s Aug. 16 request that Tatum’s legal team at Glaser Weil and Blank Rome be disqualified from the upcoming trial due to a conflict of interest over their involvement in selling off parts of his business entities. 

Dewan’s request, they wrote, is “a frivolous filing that has no basis in law or fact” and “a transparent attempt to divert the Court’s attention from her willful violation of her Court ordered deposition and discovery deadlines.” In addition to asking that the request be denied, Tatum’s lawyers said the actress “should be sanctioned in the sum of $20,000.”

It is "just another delay tactic to prolong our divorce case," Tatum wrote in his declaration in opposition to Dewan’s request for order.

In Dewan's Aug. 28 filing, her legal team says Tatum's team should have "disclosed Glaser Weil's extensive and ongoing involvement with martial transactions related to the community's Magic Mike intellectual property."

Dewan's team also describes it as "shocking" that Tatum "associated in new divorce counsel a mere five months before trial," alleging that during their marriage, "that very same counsel created an extensive web of LLCs, each of which is at least partially owed by Channing, for the sole purpose of transacting business related to the community’s Magic Mike intellectual property."

Magic Mike began with the 2012 movie that Tatum starred in and produced, and has since spawned several sequels, a reality show and a popular Las Vegas attraction. In previous filings, Dewan’s legal team has alleged that her ex transferred a portion of Magic Mike profits to a third-party entity without her knowledge, which Tatum has denied.
