Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's battle

Pop star Joe Jonas and actress Sophie Turner as they undergo their tumultuous divorce are also having problems with their kids. Joe, who has asked for custody, has said that he is disgusted with Turner trying to victimise their children, as Turner had also filed for custody. On September 5, reports first surfaced that Joe Jonas had filed dissolution of marriage paperwork in Florida. The next day, Joe and Sophie made a joint statement, calling the divorce a "united decision".

During the September 22 marriage dissolution in Florida, The Game Of Thrones actress lodged her own petition with a New York court which, if approved by a judge, would order Joe to turn over the children's custody to the actress. While Sophie did not directly accuse Joe of abducting the children, the petition does reference the word "abducted" periodically as part of the legal jargon, as reported by The Mirror. A source at the outlet said: "His (Joe’s) wish is that Sophie reconsider her harsh legal position and move forward in a more constructive and private manner. His only concern is the well-being of his children.”

Since then, he has not taken kindly to his estranged wife’s charges, calling them despicable and asking her to act in a more civil manner, and not try to drag their children into the whole mess. A source at the Daily Mail said: "Joe is livid with the latest coming from Sophie, making him look like a horrible father. It is disgusting in his eyes what she has chosen to do. This is only going to be the start of stuff getting messier and messier and messier."
