Title: Joe Jonas Responds to Sophie Turner’s Lawsuit Regarding Divorce and Children’s Return to England
Subtitle: The former couple engages in a heated legal battle over custody and relocation
In a recent development, singer Joe Jonas has addressed the lawsuit filed against him by his estranged wife, actor Sophie Turner. Turner accused Joe of refusing to allow their two daughters to return to England, her native country. The couple, who recently announced their divorce, has been entangled in a legal battle over custody and relocation.
According to a statement shared by Joe Jonas’ representative with People.com, it was revealed that Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as it was deemed the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. The statement further clarified that Sophie was well aware of Joe’s intent to file for divorce, and the Florida Court has already issued an order restricting both parents from relocating the children.
The representative stated that Joe and Sophie had a cordial meeting in New York, where Sophie came to be with the children, and it was Joe’s understanding that they had agreed to work towards an amicable co-parenting arrangement. However, less than 24 hours after this agreement, Sophie expressed her desire to permanently take the children to the UK and demanded Joe hand over their passports to facilitate their immediate departure.
Joe’s representative highlighted that such compliance would be in violation of the Florida Court order. Joe is seeking shared parenting with both parents involved in the children’s upbringing, allowing the children to be raised in both the US and the UK. The statement emphasized that the children have predominantly resided in the US throughout their lives.
The statement further discredited claims that the children were abducted and described it as an “unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending.” It expressed concerns about misleading terminology being used and suggested that Sophie’s claim was meant to shift the divorce proceedings to the UK and remove the children from the US permanently.
Joe has distanced himself from any disparaging remarks made about Sophie, disavowing statements made on his behalf without his approval. The representative emphasized that Joe’s sole focus is the well-being of his children and urged Sophie to reconsider her legal position and approach the divorce in a more constructive and private manner.
The former couple filed for divorce on September 5, calling an end to their four-year marriage. As legal proceedings unfold, the future custody arrangements and relocation of the children remain uncertain.
