“On or about September 1, 2023, the father filed a divorce case against the mother in Florida. On or about September 5, 2023, the mother found out through the media that the father had filed for divorce.”
The couple was married for four years and share daughters, three-year-old Willa and one-year-old DJ.

‘“The parties’ shared plan was for the mother and children to join the father and his extended family for part of the father’s band’s U.S. tour, then return to England,” the document said.
It continued: ‘The family would continue to live in a rental property in England and then move together to their new home in England upon completion in December 2023.
“In implementation of the parties’ joint plan, the children traveled to the United States with the father and their nanny.”

The court documents read: “In his Florida divorce petition, the father requests, among other things, divorce, a parenting plan, and a time-sharing schedule to be ordered by the Florida state court.

“The father falsely claims in his divorce filings that the children resided in Florida for the six months prior to the filing of the father’s Florida case.”
Turner then claimed that hitmaker Jonas would not return their children’s passports.
“On or about September 17, 2023, the parties met to discuss their divorce,” the petition reads.
‘The mother reiterated the parties’ agreed plan for the children to return to England that week. The father is in possession of the children’s passports. He refuses to return the passports to the mother and refuses to send the children to England with the mother.’
Following news of their divorce, reports emerged that she “likes to party and he likes to stay home.”
Several sources claiming to have ‘direct knowledge’ of the situation have informed US gossip sites including TMZ that Joe was watching his children Willa, three, and DJ, 14 months, full-time while on tour – while Sophie filmed for the new series Joan in the UK.

Turner made headlines earlier this week when she stepped out for a girls’ night out with her ex-husband’s famous ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in New York City.
They were seen arm in arm enjoying a girls night out until 2am on Tuesday.
The Bad Blood hitmaker, 33, caught up with the 27-year-old actress as they enjoyed a quiet dinner in Via Carota in the heart of the city.
As reports painted Jonas as a devoted father and Turner as a party animal emerged, a series of columns emerged defending the actress – and asking why the musician was being praised for taking care of his own children.
Raven Smith wrote for Vogue at the time: “Team Jonas throws a story about a careless mother into the proceedings and sees if it sticks, sowing the seeds of his wife being a less-than-gold star parent.
“Nobody says out loud that she’s undersized; it’s just heavily, heavily insinuated that her preference for going out clashes with his status as a roommate.

‘It’s reading between the lines: please, she’s not mothering at an acceptable level. The misogyny here is so ridiculously stark. All these maternal expectations only serve to keep women oppressed.”
Turner – who has been busy filming upcoming ITV drama Joan in Spain – appears to be moving on after her split from Jonas.
The Grammy winner dated Joe from July 2008 until their divorce just a few months later in October.
Sophie – who shares two children with the former Disney Channel actor – tied the knot with Jonas in 2019, until their shocking split came to light two weeks ago.
