Sophie Turner Drops ‘Wrongful Retention’ Allegations Against Ex-Joe Jonas


Sophie Turner has dropped her “wrongful retention” case against her estranged husband Joe Jonas for abandoning custody of their two daughters.

A US judge gave permission to drop the lawsuit after both celebrities signed a consent plan that was accepted by a UK judge last week, according to court records obtained by People magazine on Wednesday.

Turner, 27, sued Jonas for wrongful retention last September. She alleged that Jonas, 34, confiscated their daughters’ passports, preventing them from returning to England.

The ex-couple shares Willa, 3, and Delphine, 18 months. Turner’s legal team alleged that “wrongful retention” began on September 20.

After their UK parenting arrangement was granted on January 11, Jonas and Turner chose to dismiss the file “with prejudice, and without attorneys’ fees, expenses, costs and/or disbursements awarded to either party” on Wednesday.

Jonas published a statement the day after Turner’s September lawsuit and before she was dismissed, denying her allegations. The singer revealed at the time that he believed the couple had agreed to collaborate on a co-parenting method.

According to documents filed in New York and obtained by the outlet, the two reached a temporary agreement on September 25, 2023, to stay in New York City with their two daughters.

The temporary agreement order required Turner and Jonas to keep their children in the Eastern and Southern districts of New York.
