The 27-year-old "Game of Thrones" star filed the lawsuit in a Manhattan court on Thursday, seeking to secure "the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained," according to documents obtained by Page Six.

In a swift response, Joe Jonas, the 34-year-old member of the Jonas Brothers band, vehemently denied allegations of child abduction through a statement issued by his representative. Jonas characterized the lawsuit as a "harsh legal position" that contradicts the "amicable co-parenting setup" he believed they were establishing. Just last Sunday, the couple had met to discuss custody arrangements.

However, according to Jonas's representative, less than 24 hours after their meeting, Sophie Turner expressed her desire to permanently relocate the children to the United Kingdom. Subsequently, she demanded, through the legal filing, that Joe surrender their children's passports, with the intention of taking them out of the country immediately.

The couple “had an argument” three weeks prior, according to court documents.

The ongoing divorce and custody battle between Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, which is increasingly shaping up to be a protracted legal dispute, may lead to a protracted court battle, as suggested by renowned New York trial lawyer Aaron Richard Golub. Although not involved in the Jonas-Turner case, Golub has experience with high-profile cases involving celebrities such as Gisele Bündchen, Martin Scorsese, and Brooke Shields. Golub noted the complexity of the situation, involving three separate jurisdictions and two distinct legal systems.

Court documents obtained by Page Six reveal that Sophie Turner claimed to have learned about Joe Jonas's divorce filing "through the media." She described the breakdown of their four-year marriage as having occurred suddenly. Turner stated that an argument took place on August 15, which happened to be Joe Jonas's 34th birthday, and the divorce filing followed on September 5 in Miami.

Moreover, Turner's legal filing contends that the "wrongful retention" of the children commenced on September 20. She further claims that she and Joe Jonas had previously agreed, during Christmas 2022, to make the United Kingdom their "forever home" and had begun the process of exploring schools in the country for their older daughter, Willa.

Amidst this turbulent divorce, Sophie Turner recently made headlines for her dinner outing with Taylor Swift at the renowned restaurant Via Carota. During the outing, Turner donned a striking ab-baring top, signaling a strong sense of confidence amid her ongoing legal battle and escalating custody dispute with Joe Jonas.

Joe Jonas' rep says the singer and his actress ex (not pictured) met last Sunday to discuss custody.
