Sophie Turner is suing Joe Jonas for return of their kids to England, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.
It was announced that the two would be divorcing earlier this month after four years of marriage. The two share Willa, aged 3, and a 14-month old whose name they have not shared publicly.
According to Page Six and NBC, Sophie filed a lawsuit this morning claiming that the “wrongful retention” of their children from their “habitual” home by Joe began on Sept. 20.
Sophie allegedly agreed “with hesitation” to have their daughters travel with Joe on the Jonas Brothers tour in a “temporary arrangement” as he had more free time during the day. “The children would then at least be able to spend some time during the day with one of their parents until the Mother finished her filming commitments,” the documents allegedly continued, noting Sophie’s filming of Joan in the UK.
The documents further allegedly claim that both Joe and Sophie had previously agreed to make England the family’s “forever home” and that Sophie would return to New York to pick up the children once her filming was over. However, they further claim that Joe is currently withholding the children’s passports so that they cannot return.
When it comes to the divorce itself, Sophie allegedly claims in the documents that she found out “from the media” days after Joe filed for divorce on Sept. 1. She further claims that the breakdown of the marriage happened “very suddenly” after an argument on Aug. 15.
