New York, NY – A New York judge has dismissed actor Sophie Turner’s lawsuit against pop star Joe Jonas, demanding the return of their two children to England. Turner, known for her role in “Game of Thrones,” and Jonas, who were once a beloved couple in Hollywood, announced their separation on September 6 after four years of marriage. Since then, a custody battle has ensued over the couple’s young children born in 2020 and 2022.
Turner took legal action in September, filing a lawsuit against Jonas in the U.S. District Court for Southern New York. She claimed that he wrongfully kept their children in New York City while he was on tour with “The Jonas Brothers,” instead of returning them to England where she was filming a series. Furthermore, Turner accused Jonas of refusing to hand over the children’s passports.
A representative for Jonas argued that the singer believed they would amicably co-parent and explained that he did not surrender the passports due to a court order in Florida, where their divorce proceedings began. However, citing a temporary child custody agreement reached in October, in which the parents shared custody of the kids, a New York judge dismissed the lawsuit with both parties’ consent.
The judge also highlighted that Jonas and Turner submitted a consent order to the Family Division of the High Court of England and Wales, which was approved on January 11. This order displayed the parenting agreement they had reached. The specifics of the custody arrangement were not disclosed.
Efforts to reach the attorneys for Jonas and Turner for comment on this development were unsuccessful. The dismissal of the lawsuit brings some resolution to the custody dispute between the former couple, but the details of the arrangement remain private.
In a case that gained significant media attention, Sophie Turner’s lawsuit against Joe Jonas regarding the custody of their children has been dismissed by a New York judge. The couple, who ended their four-year marriage in September, had been at odds over the residence of their two young children. Turner claimed that Jonas wrongfully kept the children in New York City while he was on tour, instead of returning them to England where she was filming. However, a temporary custody agreement was reached in October, and both parties later filed a consent order with the Family Division of the High Court of England and Wales. The terms of the agreement remain undisclosed.
