[quote=Anonymous]Some relevant info from Turner's filing:

[i]The petition stated that Jonas was in possession of the children's passports — but refused to hand them over and send them with Turner back to England.

The petition was filed after Jonas allegedly refused to let the children go with their mother, which " is a breach of the Mother’s rights of custody under English law, England being the children’s habitual residence."

The petition stated that the children, who have dual citizenship, are “fully involved and integrated” in daily life in England with the older child attending school and both involved in playdates and cultural activities.

Turner has requested the return of her children to England, has submitted her application for return with the Central Authority for England and Wales, and says that she “never consented or acquiesced to the removal of the children from England,” the court documents said.

The children are currently with Turner in New York, the filing said.[/I]

So she is arguing the kids were living in the UK with her and that she didn't consent to them being removed. Would like a few more details on that but it raises the question of whether Joe left the UK with them without Sophie's consent, or perhaps on false pretenses (like Sophie thought he was taking them for a visit with family or to attend a few of his tour dates, but then he just... stayed).

This is not an easy custody case and it's different from others that people are citing in this thread. Sophie's filing states that the children have dual citizenship. This is different, for instance, from Kelly Rutherford's kids who were US citizens only and never citizens of Monaco. It's also VERY relevant that the children were living in the UK for a sustained period as recently as spring/summer 2023. If the elder daughter was enrolled in school, this is evidence of a more permanent residence than simply "visiting" Sophie on set. Also the fact of the home rental there -- if Sophie can show a long-term lease and that she and Joe both signed that paperwork, that will go some way to establishing residency there.

I don't think it's obvious that Joe is going to get the kids to stay in the US. Which I actually think Joe is aware of and may be why he has engaged in a number of desperate-looking measures to both trash Sophie in the press or make himself appear more family oriented and invested. I think he is aware that Sophie has a strong case for getting primary custody in the UK, and that many of his decisions since deciding to file have been desperate efforts to undermine that case, knowing he doesn't have similarly strong arguments on his behalf (no home base in the US, the kids likely don't have strong ties in terms of school, childcare, or family ties to any particular spot in the US).[/quote]
