Sophie Turner, 27, and Joe Jonas, 34, continue their bitter custody battle, though it seems that the couple has agreed to temporarily keep their children in New York, court documents reveal. 

The pair has come to an agreement in an interim consent order that bans both parties from removing the children from the state. 

The court agreement that was filed on Monday states that their daughters must remain in either New York’s Southern or Eastern Districts – which covers New York City, the Hudson Valley, and Long Island.

The filing also reveals that both parties have consented to this arrangement. This comes just days after Turner accused Jonas of refusing to release their daughters passports, suing him for wrongful retention.. “The parties have agreed to the entry of the attached proposed Interim Consent Order, without prejudice to either party’s claims and defenses, prohibiting the removal of the parties’ children from the jurisdictions of the United States District Courts for the Southern & Eastern Districts of New York pending further order of this Court,” the documents go on to say.

A statement was released by Jonas stating that “After multiple conversations with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case,” the statement read. “Sophie was aware that Joe was going to file for divorce. The Florida Court has already entered an order that restricts both parents from relocating the children. Sophie was served with this order on September 6, 2023, more than two weeks ago.”

The statement also alleged that less than 24 hours after the “amicable co-parenting setup” was agreed upon, “Sophie advised that she wanted to take the children permanently to the UK. Thereafter, she demanded via this filing that Joe hand over the children’s passports so that she could take them out of the country immediately.”

If the order is violated by either parent the court has the right to “take or cause to be taken measures under Federal or State law, as appropriate, to protect the well-being of the child involved or to prevent the child’s further removal or concealment before the final disposition of the petition.”
