[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Per TMZ, Joe said the judge ruled that the kids have to stay in the US for the time being.[/quote]

It's not a recent ruling though, and predates Sophie's filing. It's based exclusively on Joe's divorce filing and simply states that neither parent may remove the child from the country. It is likely part of the boilerplate order that the judge would issue in any divorce case involving children, in the same way that a judge would tell a defendant in a bail proceeding that they may not leave the country.

Joe is trying to make it sound like Sophie tried to take them out of the country and a judge said no. That's not what happened.

There is a very serious difference in their stories regarding what occurred in the last three months. Sophie claims Joe took the kids out of the UK without her permission. That's a very serious allegation and while it might not be the whole story, I question whether she would make that allegation without some proof. It's a big deal and the kind of thing that can lose a parent custody altogether.

Joe claims that Sophie was aware of what was happening and that he had the kids per a mutual agreement. Directly contradictory.

They are also contradicting each other on how the divorce came about, with Joe saying it unfolded over a longer period and was a surprise to neither of them, and Sophie saying she didn't know he'd even filed until it came out in the press and that he was making decisions about the kids without her. There are clear reasons why each of these stories benefit their respective cases -- if it was a surprise, Sophie's allegation that the kids and Joe were living in the UK with her makes more sense, but if the marriage had been falling apart for a while, Joes's story that they merely visited Sophie for a bit before returning to the US is more plausible.

I tend to think Sophie has more evidence in her favor because of the decision to sell the Miami house and the choice to acquire a home (albeit a rental) in the UK, plus if it's true her daughter was enrolled in nursery school in the UK, this backs her version of events. I also think Joe might have shot himself in the foot here because right after he filed, he (or someone close to him) leaked news that the decision to file for divorce was made somewhat suddenly after he saw something on a home security camera. I guess it depends what he saw, but this contradicts his own story that the marriage had been in decline for a time and that Sophie knew he was filing.[/quote]

They might have had an agreement to live in one country for a few years and then England for another few years. Who knows if they had really talked about settling in one place forever.
[b]
It’s also irrelevant since the marriage dissolved before they could establish a residence in the UK anyway. From a legal standpoint intent means very little.[/b] They have no established residence in the UK and seems unlikely that Sophie can just move them there. I really wonder what a judge is going to rule. [/quote]

I think it would be irrelevant if they had a clearly established residence elsewhere, but they don't. Next best thing will be intent.[/quote]
