In the middle of the separation process from Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner finds herself forced to take a drastic step: she sues the father of her children because he refuses to let their daughters go back to England with Sophie.
Sophie Turner, 27, and Joe Jonas, 34, only became parents for the second time in July 2022. Back then, no one would have believed that they would find themselves in the middle of a separation drama around a year after their younger daughter’s birthday. While the ex-dream couple appeared to be friendly and well-disposed towards each other in their joint statement on the divorce, the situation now seems to have shifted.
Sophie Turner: She wanted to protect her children but that’s what it’s about now
As reported by the Daily Mail and Page Six on September 21st, Sophie Turner has filed a lawsuit against Joe Jonas in New York. The reason: The singer “refuses to return the passports (of the daughters) to their mother and to let the children go to England with their mother.” This is what it says in the court documents available to the Daily Mail and Page Six.
The background is a move from Miami, the family’s former home, to Great Britain, the home country of the “Game of Thrones” actress. According to “Page Six”, the family of four moved to England in April 2023. In the following months, Sophie Turner began filming a miniseries while Joe Jonas went on tour with his brothers. At the time, the mother of two “hesitantly” agreed to let her daughters travel with Joe Jonas. Despite his performances, the singer is said to have had more time for the children than Turner was able to.
Joe Jonas refuses to let his daughters travel to England
In the documents available, this travel regulation is referred to as a “temporary agreement”. On September 1, 2023, the “Jonas Brothers” singer filed for divorce from Turner and she wants her daughters to live permanently in England. A thought that Joe Jonas doesn’t seem to like at all. “The children were due to be returned to England on September 20, 2023. The father prevented the children from returning to England, which is a violation of the mother’s right of custody under English law, as England is the children’s usual place of residence,” Daily quotes Mail” from the court documents.
According to consistent media reports, Sophie Turner is planning to file a similar lawsuit in Great Britain.
