After nearly six years of divorce proceedings, Channing Tatum has made it clear he wants to finalize their split once and for all.  On May 2, Tatum’s response to his ex, Jenna Dewan’s, Request For Order was filed, in which he opposed her asking to bifurcate trial in regard to “the characterization and division of the Magic Mike intellectual property,” court documents obtained by ET state. “Our divorce has been pending for over five years. In that time, I have made exhaustive efforts to settle all issues in this matter without litigation. I have made countless settlement proposals, attended multiple mediations, my attorneys have prepared numerous drafts of a proposed judgment, and I have tried to resolve issues directly with Petitioner. While we have resolved some issues, the most significant financial issues in the case remain unresolved because Petitioner continues to delay resolution and provides one reason after another for why this case cannot settle,” Tatum accused in his court-filed declaration. “I believe that Petitioner’s RFO is another delay tactic to prolong resolution of our financial settlement.” …
