EXCLUSIVE'They Can't Agree Much On Anything': Exes Channing Tatum, Jenna Dewan Prepare To Face Off In Court Over Their Finances, Spills Source

It's been more than three years since Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan announced the end of their marriage, but it seems they still have major issues to hash out.
"This has been dragging on. Even their friends are surprised by how long it's taking," a source tells OK! of the pair, who share daughter Everly. "But they're both holding out for what they think is right — and unfortunately, they can't agree much on anything."
According to reports, Tatum's lawyer has requested to schedule a five-day trial to hash out details of their divorce settlement, including spousal support, attorney fees and costs, division of property and child support.
The exes, who were married for almost nine years, are also hoping to settle the dispute over their percentages from the Magic Mike franchise. (Dewan, 40, claims she helped find Tatum, 41, the choreographer for the film's live show in Las Vegas and dropped everything to support him when the production moved to London.)
"Things were good between Channing and Jenna for a while until the money issues came up," explains the source. And since then, "there's been resentment and negative feelings building up."
While Dewan has new fiancé Steve Kazee by her side (the pair welcomed a son last year), the source suspects that the trouble with Tatum has been taxing on the Broadway vet.
"Things were good between Channing and Jenna for a while until the money issues came up," explains the source. And since then, "there's been resentment and negative feelings building up."
Kazee, 45, "is doing his best to be supportive, but hates being in the middle of this," shares the source, adding that Dewan would like to see this matter settled sooner rather than later, but not without what she thinks she deserves.
"Channing," adds the source, "is equally resolved in getting his fair share. Someone's going to have to give in."
That may be easier said than done. "Channing and Jenna are both stubborn," continues the source. "But their friends are hoping that in time, they will compromise because life is too short."
