Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas‘ divorce is getting complicated.
The Game of Thrones star filed a petition in New York City on Thursday requesting Jonas return their children to their home in England, according to court documents obtained by CNN.
The petition cites the “wrongful retention” of their children “in New York City from their habitual residence of England,” and that they had made England their “permanent” home in April of 2023.

Turner had planned to return to England this month with the children, the petition states, but when she attempted to collect their passports from Jonas last week, she claims he refused.
Jonas filed for divorce from Turner on September 5 after four years of marriage. Turner also claims in her petition that she found out Jonas filed for divorce through “the media”.
A representative for Jonas disputed that claim, stating Turner was aware in advance he was going to file for divorce.
“Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the US and the UK,” the representative said.
“The children were born in the US and have spent the vast majority of their lives in the US.
“They are American citizens.”
