It's been more than six years since Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, both 43, broke up, and the couple is about to begin a trial to determine the finances in their divorce
Dewan 'is just looking for a fair resolution of community assets of the marriage under California State Law' after five years of working toward a settlement and attending multiple meetings on the topic, the rep said.
An insider close to Tatum said that Dewan's 'actions and claims continuously contradict themselves,' which is the reason that the court proceedings have 'dragged on' for years.
'She says she wants a fair settlement but is ignoring all post-separation work Channing and his partners have done to enhance Magic Mike,' the Tatum insider told the outlet. 'She keeps stalling negotiations, but says she wants to resolve this.'
The Tatum source said the Cullman, Alabama-born actor 'just wants to move on' in his life and encourages Dewan 'to move on with her new life as well,' in an effort to reach a swift settlement at this point.
A separate source told the outlet that the Hartford, Connecticut-born actress has 'clearly moved on' in her life and would 'like for all the doors to close and for her divorce to be finalized.'
The source added, 'She's not dragging this on because she wants to or because she's greedy.'
Since their split, both have found new romances - Tatum is engaged to actress Zoë Kravitz, 35, while Dewan has been engaged to actor Steve Kazee, 48, since 2020.
Dewan and Kazee are parents to son Callum, four, and announced in January they were expecting their second child.

Dewan is aiming to having her finances with Tatum 'settled before she gets married again,' the source close to Dewan said.
The outlet noted that Tatum declines 'to accept an equal division of the Magic Mike intellectual property' based off the timeline of the split.
Dewan told the court that the film, its two sequels and other related projects had been 'developed and co-financed by Channing during [the] marriage with community effort and marital funds.'
Tatum 'collected 100 percent of the profits' from his Magic Mike endeavors following their 2018 split, Dewan's legal team said, adding that he didn't keep her informed about his business dealings involving the brand.
Tatum's legal team said that the actor 'has expended extensive efforts since separation towards the enhancement of the Magic Mike intellectual property and related entities, which [Tatum] contends give rise to his separate property interest therein.'
The Lost City actor has 'exhausted all efforts in an attempt to settle this matter without litigation,' his lawyers told the court.
Tatum and Dewan initially met working on the 2006 movie Step Up and got engaged in 2008, exchanging vows July 11, 2009 in Malibu, California.
Tatum and Dewan said in a joint statement on April 2, 2018 that they were breaking up, saying, 'We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together.

'Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.
The former pair said there were 'no secrets nor salacious events at the root' of their decision to part ways, as they just realized it was 'time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible.'
They wrapped up in saying, 'We are still a family and will always be loving, dedicated parents to Everly.'
