[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it looks like both parties have agreed to keep the kids in NY for now and documentation to that effect has been filed in federal court.  Nice to see some compromise and talks happening.

Really trashes the Florida having jurisdiction argument though.[/quote]

I agree with the PP who think the Florida thing (both them buying and then almost immediately selling a house there, and Joe filing there) reflects some shady tax stuff Joe is trying to pull off. It is just nonsensical that they divorce there. The haven't lived there in 5 months and they barely lived there when they "lived" there.[/quote]

They definitely lived there for tax reasons during the couple of years when the Jonas brothers got back together and he started earning money again.

That said, florida jurisdiction is no less random than New York. [b]To have florida residency you have to live there just over six months of the year.[/b] So although they don’t seem to have lived anywhere with any permanency lately, florida is probably the most recent place that they’ve lived from the legal definition of residency.

Their lifestyle is an interesting glimpse into the life of the nomadic wealthy and famous. Sounds kind of sucky, tbh. [/quote]

You only need that to establish Florida residency. After that occurs the state doesn't really keep track so long as you have an address to send your mail. Most of the ultra wealthy are nomadic and thus won't trigger residency anywhere else because (1) they are traveling for work so much or (2) primarily follow the seasonal events (Xmas/NYE with extended family in Carribbean, winter at your ski condo, spring in Cannes or Italy, summer in the Hamptons/Northeast and Europe, etc.)

If Joe was planning to live overseas, then he would ABSOLUTELY want to establish Florida tax residency in order to not owe state taxes while abroad. NY, CA, even DC will say you owe state taxes even while living abroad full time if that's where you resided prior to moving out of the U.S. In fact, establishing bona fide Florida residency will likely be argued by Sophie's lawyers that it was part of a longer term plan to eventually move abroad in order to minimize his taxes.
