'I mean, those were the worst few days of my life,' she told Vogue recently. 'There were some days that I didn’t know if I was going to make it.
'I would call my lawyer saying, "I can’t do this. I just can’t." I was just never strong enough to stand up for myself.
'And then, finally, after two weeks of me being in a rut, she reminded me that it was my children I was fighting for.
'Once anyone says to me, "Do it for your kids," I’m doing it. I wouldn’t do it for myself, but I’ll find the strength for them.'
At the time, Sophie was in the U.K. filming the TV show Joan, while Joe and their two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, one, were in the US.
'I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out…' the star trailed off.
After the news hit the web, rumors erupted that they had split because Sophie was partying too much - especially after snaps of her enjoying a wild night out with her costars just days before Joe filed began to circulate.
'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother – mom guilt is so real,' continued Sophie.

For some reason paparazzi photos of these two keep showing up on my Instagram page and I almost wish it’s being more widely reported (after all the drama with everything regarding this divorce especially) that it looks like Sophie has been flying back to NYC during her two weeks with the girls - she’s not having them fly to the UK.
Are the girls allowed to return to the UK at this point?

Sophie will enroll the kids in school in the UK and can show that they have a regular home. Same school, same house every time they go to the UK. Like clockwork.
Meanwhile, JJ is shuttling the girls every two weeks to a new city - his world tour goes deep into 2024.
By the time his tour is done, the girls will have established a routine in the UK and that will lead to them being tied to the school year in the UK.
Checkmate, Joe.
Those kids are not being enrolled anywhere for 2 weeks each month. Both parents will hire someone to take care of the kids at home. There is no winning by or checkmate of anybody.
+1. Willa won't start K for two more years.
In the UK (and much of Europe) it’s fairly standard for kids to start preschool (nursery) at age 3.
Willa already started attending preschool when they were in England earlier this year. It would be odd for her to stop now.
