[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she was embarrassed at all the talk of her partying and this stunt is damage control. Joe Jonas is not flakey and even his statement was calm and reasonable. The kids are American citizens and have never lived abroad so this idea of homeland feels like a stunt. He also said the kids can go back and forth but her attempt to have this adjudicated abroad is lame. He is going to be super careful after what Kelly Rutherford has experienced when her kids got shipped abroad.  Hopefully they can work this out. Sad to see this kind of drama.[/quote]

The kids are also UK citizens and dad decided to divorce mom who lives in the UK. It’s reasonable for her to want a UK court to decide custody considering they own a home there and intended to settle there long term. He’s a monster trying to steal kids don’t their mother [/quote]

No… mom is a born and raised and UK citizen. Kids are dual citizens by birth but have been raised in the us. Mom tried to bring kids over to the UK to raise them there at the same time she was getting divorced. That does not make their residence UK. Would have had to establish true precedent before divorce which is why Sophie is desperately claiming that she and Joe had “talked” about England being their forever home.

He could be a prick for all I know. The kids could be better off with her. But legally she has no grounds to do what she’s doing, and it seems like an attempt to bring them over to the UK and raise them there despite having an American dad. This is a grown up issue the two of them should be sorting out.[/quote]

Her filing says they started looking at houses to buy in the UK as early as Dec. 2022. They were living near her family for several months and then went under contract for a house in July. If they did talk about making UK their permanent home, there are likely realtors, family members, etc. who could testify to those conversations. Also if the children attended nursery school and other activities, there may be contracts with those entities that show intent for a long-term stay.

Also the fact that they sold their home in Miami concurrent with going to the UK and entering into a contract to buy a home there.

If Sophie is making it all up in order to steal the kids away from the US, what is she stealing them from? Living in hotels in various cities for the next 10 months while Joe tours? Spending most of their time with a nanny between visits with their mom? They don't even have a home here. All there stuff is in England.[/quote]

She is “stealing” them from a parent who lives here. I think that’s more material than where their clothes are.

They have moved a million times. Mostly within the US. England is just one of many places they’ve lived, and for a very short period of time. He bought that home to live in as a family for some uncertain length of time- not under the pretense of divorcing his wife and having her live there with the kids in perpetuity.  If there was any intent to stay there; it was clearly shattered by the dissolution of their marriage and [b]since they were not in the uk long enough to establish a residence legally, their last legal home was the us[/b]. I don’t understand how anyone doesn’t see this clearly.[/quote]

What law are you referring to here that sets out how long you have to live in a place to establish legal residence?[/quote]

In the us (or at least in fl and ny where they each filed) the law regarding children’s custody is where they lived for six months prior to separation.

Also according to a quick google search, in England the petitioner should be a habitual resident of England and live there for at least a year. Doesn’t really fit Sophie’s definitions. They were def mostly US based during their marriage and doesn’t sound like they really qualify for UK jurisdiction [/quote]

Establishing jurisdiction for a divorce or child custody case is different (and harder) than establishing legal residence. It's perfectly possible for Sophie and the girls to be legal residents of England and for England to not necessarily have jurisdiction over the divorce/custody case. [/quote]
