Earlier in the day, he managed to reach a temporary agreement with his estranged wife Sophie Turner over custody issues.
But Joe Jonas showed later on Monday that he still relied on family members as he stepped out with his younger brother Nick Jonas, 31, in New York City.
The 34-year-old Jonas Brothers singer was seen walking down a city sidewalk in a casual outfit while Nick hung slightly behind him in a darker outfit.
Documents obtained by reveal that Joe had struck a truce with his ex Sophie after she sued him last week to take their two children back to the UK.
Joe was dressed casually on the chilly day, wearing a thick cream sweater with a red flag motif embroidered on the breast pocket.

He contrasted his sweater with a pair of baggy blue jeans that had dark spots on his thighs.
A gray patch was sewn over one pocket of the pants, and there were chipped, torn patches on both legs.
The hitmaker completed his outfit with black boots and despite being in the Big Apple, he represented Los Angeles with a blue Dodgers baseball cap.
Nick was dressed more anonymously, wearing a black western shirt with double breast pockets that he wore over his pants.
Underneath he wore a white shirt and dark trousers that perfectly matched the color of his shirt.
The Sucker singer stuck to his Western theme with a pair of sturdy dark boots and carried his phone in his hand as he walked right behind his brother.
Joe was previously seen enjoying his younger brother’s company and leaning on him as they enjoyed a night out in New York City last week following news that he had filed for divorce from Sophie.
The 27-year-old Game Of Thrones actress has also called on her celebrity friends for support, including superstar singer Taylor Swift, who appeared to confirm her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce while watching his game against the Chicago Bears attended Sunday and then had a “loving” dinner with him until late into the night.
Taylor hosted a girls’ night out for Sophie at her New York penthouse over the weekend as she and Joe argued about where their daughters will live for the foreseeable future.
According to Joe’s newly signed agreement with Sophie, the couple will keep their daughters – three-year-old Willa and a one-year-old daughter whose name has not been publicly announced but begins with a “D” – in New York City.
The agreement allows the children to live in the southern or eastern counties of New York, which includes the Hudson Valley and Long Island.
Although the agreement is roughly in line with Joe’s stated goals of preventing the children from permanently disappearing to the UK, where Sophie wanted to take them before Willa starts school, the agreement states that it is “without prejudice to the claims of either party.” This means that its existence should not mean that Joe will ultimately prevail in keeping his daughter in the United States.
The draft order still needs to be signed by Judge Katherine Polk Failla, who handled the case.

Bitter divorce: Last week Sophie sued Joe, claiming he was withholding their children’s passports and preventing them from taking a supposedly arranged trip to the UK with her; seen in September 2022
The couple’s initial hearing is scheduled for Monday, October 3, in federal court in Manhattan.
Sophie had claimed that Joe was withholding the children’s passports to stop her taking them to the UK.
But in a statement refuting many of their claims, Joe said he would not release the passports because doing so would allegedly “constitute a violation of the Florida court’s order” allowing the parents to relocate the children during the Prohibits divorce proceedings.
Jonas filed for divorce in Florida, although the couple sold their Miami home in August, and Sophie claimed that their children had not lived in Florida for the six months required for residency.
