British actress Sophie Turner, 27, and American singer Joe Jonas, 34, have reached a joint custody agreement amid their bitter divorce trial, media outlets including Chron, People and Page Six have confirmed. The famous couple, who began their separation in early September last year after four years of marriage and two daughters together, hope to settle the matter “amicably,” according to court documents published by several media outlets on Tuesday, October 10 .
The letter states that both Turner and Jonas will spend two weeks a month with their daughters Willa, three years old, and Delphine, one year old. At least until next January. Additionally, they are allowed to travel anywhere in the United States and the United Kingdom during their time, meaning the Game of Thrones actress can take the girls to England where she plans to settle in what she considers home. “Home.” forever.” The new agreement thus invalidates the previous interim consent order that required the girls to remain in New York State. while his parents disagreed over his custody.

It all started on September 1, when the member of the Jonas Brothers band filed for divorce from the artist in court in Miami. Then sources close to him assured various media outlets that Turner partied too much and that she left her now ex-husband alone to take care of her. She responded by accusing Jonas of “holding” her daughters in the United States and refusing to give her their passports so they could return to England together. He also filed a complaint claiming that he learned the news of his divorce from the press. He denied this in a statement a few hours later.
Turner and Jonas’ split has sparked legal proceedings in Miami, the United Kingdom and New York, where custody of the two girls is now being decided. And at first it seemed as if there would be a peaceful separation. “After four wonderful years, we have decided to end our marriage amicably and amicably. “There is a lot of speculation as to why, but the reality is that this is a mutual decision and we both honestly hope that everyone can respect our desire to protect our privacy and that of our children,” they explained on June 6th of their separation . September posted the same message on their respective Instagram accounts. However, the disagreements on both sides over who should care for the daughters and in which part of the world they should live led to open war between the two.
Now, after three days of mediation – which, according to People, took place between October 4th and 7th – in which both tried to negotiate their divorce without the brewing argument, things appear to have calmed down. Thanks to this new interim consent order, both have agreed for the girls to be with Turner from October 9th to October 21st. According to the documents, you can “temporarily travel” with them anywhere in the United States or the United Kingdom, but you must return them to New York on the 21st, where they will be “transferred” to Jonas. In addition, delivery must occur at a time and place convenient for both parties, the document says. The father has the right to be with them until November 2nd and they can also travel anywhere in the United States, meaning Willa and Delphine – whose name was previously unknown when the media accessed the papers Divorce and custody – will be able to accompany him on his tour with the Jonas Brothers. During these dates, the group plans to play in Austin (Texas), San Diego and Anaheim, both cities in the state of California. They are due back in New York on November 2nd, but perhaps their nanny will be responsible for transporting the girls – which is what the agreement stipulates for both parties – since Jonas has a concert planned in Fresno, California that day . .
Looking forward, as People points out, the agreement “requires the parties to jointly file a status report letter by December 23” outlining the status of the mediation between the two at that time.
This is what is known about the agreements at this point. Turner will give birth to her daughters again in the next two weeks, by November 22nd, and Jonas will have the other two – including Thanksgiving – by December 16th under the same conditions. They will spend Christmas with their mother and see their father again on January 7th. At this point they must return to New York. In principle they agree. Nevertheless, a trial is scheduled for January 2nd to clarify the remaining questions regarding custody of the little girls.
