[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Increasingly Joe's decision to file in Florida looks bad to me. [/b] They no longer lived there and hadn't for at least 4 and a half months (when they went to the UK and listed the Miami house).  Why would their divorce take place there? Yes these are rich people who can jet around easily, but who wants to have to go to Florida for hearings or hire a lawyer barred in Florida (or hire a lawyer barred elsewhere and then they have to go through the hoops of getting local counsel or permission to appear themselves).

If a core conflict in the marriage is whether or not they were moving to the UK, it also looks like it's purposeful to make it harder for Sophie if she's based in the UK now. It's also nonsensical that a judge in Florida would determine custody of two people who don't live there.

My sense is that he filed there because it's the most recent place he lived in the US, but maybe that speaks to how rash the decision was. If he didn't want to move to London, he and Sophie could have talked it out, he could have gotten an apartment in NYC and they could have done a trial separation, and then file in NY or London when they were ready, preferably after they'd already basically worked out the custody issues themselves.

He filed rashly and likely did it to hurt Sophie. It was childish and has caused a mess where there needn't have been one.[/quote]

I am going to assume how it looks will have no influence on the outcome of the case.[/quote]

When celebrities divorce, half of it is protecting their rights and interests in the divorce, and half of it is not destroying their personal brands in the process. Jonas' fan base is mostly women -- he will need to tread somewhat lightly here. Sophie has more leeway, as her work is not as beholden to individual fan opinion -- she's considered a "Serious Actress" and as long as people like her in roles, it matters less if they like her personally. Being British also helps her, as she's highly likely to retain a fan base in the UK who does not care about Joe Jonas in the least and actually probably likes her better for the split.[/quote]

Legally it doesn't matter what a female fan base thinks.[/quote]

Do you often fail to understand that point someone is making? Oh, who am I kidding. That's obviously a rhetorical question.[/quote]
