[quote=Anonymous]The September 6th order requiring the kids to stay in the US was almost certainly written by Joe's legal team with boilerplate language about what the parties can and can't do pending a hearing. That's standard procedure with an initial filing as it allows the judge to simply review and sign, since one day is not enough time for a judge to make a merit-based determination on what should happen with the kids. It's just an order that will say "party A is filing for divorce, party B has x days to respond, a hearing will be scheduled according to [whatever procedure], in the meantime, the parties must/must not do the following [including leave the country with the kids]." It would be standard procedure in large part to prevent a child abduction by a disgruntled spouse, since sadly and of course sometimes that's what happens when someone files for divorce.

That order will last, at most, a few weeks, and I find it highly unlikely that Sophie, a UK citizen, will not be permitted to take her children, also UK citizens, back to the UK within a very short period of time, once it is clear that she will be complying with court orders and has no intention of denying Joe access to the children or giving him custody according to any agreed upon arrangement. The kids could be in the UK as early as October.

I also think it's highly likely the Florida case will be soon remanded to SDNY, where Sophie filed, given that Joe failed to establish residency in Florida for purposes of custody proceedings, neither party resides or owns property in Florida, and both parties are currently located in NY. Plus NY is more accessible from London and, as these proceedings are likely to drag on a bit based on the initial behavior of the participants, it is likely the kids will be moving back and forth between the US and UK and NY makes more sense in terms of limiting the burden on the kids.[/quote]
