Joe Jonas gave the surprise a few days ago by filing for divorce from his still wife, the British actress Sophie Turner, after seven years of relationship. A separation that the singer based on the classic “irreconcilable differences” and that everyone assumed was some type of incompatibility of agendas, but that the relationship between the two was going to be cordial due to the two daughters they have in common, Willa (3) and a second daughter whose name is unknown (1).
However, it seems that this process is going to be much more complicated to resolve than it seemed at first, since the actress denounced Jonas for “kidnapping” the little girls, stating that he had detained them in the United States by hiding their passport, when she wants to take them with her to the UK, where she currently works and looks set to settle permanently.
A request that the judge has already rejected, stating that the girls will remain on American soil, at least for the moment. As a result of this decision, Joe Jonas’ representative has sent a long statement on behalf of the singer, who regrets the direction things are taking between them.
In this statement, reproduced by the TMZ portal, it is stated that the divorce would not have caught the actress “by surprise”, as has been reported in some media, but that she was aware that her husband was going to start the procedures.
The actress has been in the United States since last Sunday, when the girls are with her, so the singer does not understand where the story could have come from that he had “kidnapped” his daughters or hidden their passports.
“Less than 24 days later, Sophie said she wanted to take the girls permanently to the UK, so she asked Joe to give her their passports so they could travel immediately. If [Joe] did so, he would be in breach of the Court’s order. of Florida”, which handles the divorce process and prevents both parents from taking the children anywhere.
“This unfortunate legal disagreement in a marriage is a sad ending, especially when language like ‘kidnapping’ is used,” the statement reads. “At best, it can be taken as wrong; at worst, it is an abuse of the judicial system. The girls have not been “kidnapped.” After being in the care of their father for three months, by agreement of both parties, Now they are with their mother.”
According to the statement, this move by the actress would be due to her decision to move to the United Kingdom, where she is originally from and where she is currently working, and take her daughters with her to live there.
The couple does not reside in the family home, but since both parents are on American soil, it is hoped that they can reach an out-of-court agreement for the sake of the little girls.
