Joe Jonas Files for Divorce, Seeking Joint Custody in Split with Sophie Turner
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's marriage is coming to an end, as Joe has officially filed for divorce, seeking joint custody of their two daughters, 3-year-old Willa and their 1-year-old. The couple had a prenuptial agreement in place, which is mentioned in Joe's divorce documents, and the proceedings also delve into arrangements concerning their children.
Sources with inside information have revealed that Joe aims to establish a parenting plan that allows for "frequent and continuing contact with both parties," emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong relationship with their children.
Joe confirms in his petition what has been widely reported recently – that he has been taking care of their children, primarily in Miami but also in other locations throughout the United States, as he has been on tour. Child support is addressed in Joe's legal filings, with both parents expected to contribute to the financial support of their children. Joe is seeking the assistance of a Florida court to determine a fair child support arrangement, taking into account health insurance costs for the kids.
The couple's marital issues had been brewing for approximately six months before Joe decided to file for divorce. He had been actively searching for divorce lawyers for at least a week before taking this step. Joe has chosen Tom Sasser, who famously handled Tiger Woods' divorce, as his legal representation.
One of the reasons behind the divorce is reportedly the couple's differing lifestyles. Joe prefers a quieter, more home-oriented life, while Sophie enjoys a more social and party-centric lifestyle. This fundamental difference in their preferences and priorities seems to have contributed to their decision to part ways.
Over the past three months, Joe has taken on the primary caregiver role for their children. When it comes to determining custody arrangements, Joe may seek a significant share of physical custody, possibly more than 50%, based on insider information.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner began their journey as a couple in 2016, got engaged in the following year, and celebrated their union with a Vegas wedding in 2019. This marriage was the first for both Joe, who is 34 years old, and Sophie, who is 27 years old.
