Sophie Turner sues Joe Jonas in Manhattan federal court to return kids to UK | Entertainment News

NEW YORK — The divorce between Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas became a federal case Thursday.

Turner, 27, claims in court documents filed Thursday in the Southern District of New York that the couple’s kids have been wrongfully retained in New York City since Sept. 20 from England, which she described as “their habitual residence.”

The actress’ lawsuit was brought under the 1980 Hague Convention, which established civil proceedings for kids wrongly removed from their home country, as well as the U.S. International Child Abduction Remedies Act.

The suit was filed in Manhattan federal court as Turner’s kids are currently located in Manhattan; Jonas has a condo in Nolita.

The filing states that the pair made the United Kingdom their permanent home in April to have the children attend school in England. According to the lawsuit, the family moved into a long-term rental property in May and entered contracts to purchase a home in July and move there in December.

“As a result of their careers and the travel required for each of their careers, the parties had not, until April 2023, committed to setting down roots in any particular place. reads the suit. “They lived a very peripatetic lifestyle. They did not need to settle in one location right away and lived in various properties.”

The suit further establishes the couple once agreed the U.K. would be their family’s main residence. “All throughout their marriage, and particularly after their children were born, the parties often discussed their desire to raise their children in England and for their children to attend school in England. The parties regarded England as a safe location to raise their children.”

During a trip to Turner’s hometown of Warwickshire in 2020, the suit says the couple jointly decided “they would look for their ‘forever home’ in England, select a school for their older daughter in England, and settle their family in England.”

The family relocated to the U.K. in July after settling on a property in Oxford and putting their house in Miami for sale, Turner’s lawyers say.

The suit further claims the kids are now “fully involved and integrated in all aspects of daily and cultural life in England,” where they have received their medical and dental care and set up with dentists, doctors, and extracurricular activities.
