Sophie Turner Drops Charges Against Joe Jonas After Custody Agreement

Sophie Turner has decided to drop the “wrongful retention” claims against her estranged hubby, Joe Jonas, concerning the custody of their two little ones.

A U.S. judge gave the nod to dismiss the filing after both celebs inked a consent plan. This plan got the green light from a U.K. judge last week.

Back in September, Turner took legal action against Jonas accusing him of wrongful retention. The claim stated that Jonas was holding on to their daughters’ passports, preventing them from jetting back to England. The duo shares Delphine and Willa.

Turner’s legal squad demanded the “immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained,” pinpointing the alleged wrongful retention.

Jonas and Turner shook hands to have the filing axed “with prejudice, and without attorneys’ fees, expenses, costs and/or disbursements awarded to either party” after their parenting plan in the UK got the thumbs up on 11th Jan. Before the dismissal, Jonas had released a statement challenging Turner’s claims the day after her September filing.

Following this interim arrangement, the ex-couple hammered out a temporary custody deal for their duo. They then issued a joint statement, saying, “After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK.” The statement wrapped up with an optimistic note: “We look forward to being great co-parents.”

The musician filed for a marriage dissolution in Miami from his four-year spouse. The filing asserted that “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” According to the divorce filing, the pair had a prenup locked and loaded.
