In the news today: Actress Sophie Turner has brought legal action against ex-husband Joe Jonas regarding the residence of the couple’s two children. Turner claims the children have a permanent home in the UK whereas in stark contrast Jonas maintains that the children should live in America.
Disputes often arise regarding child living arrangements and this is further complicated when the parents live in different jurisdictions. Whilst it appears from reports that Turner and Jonas had initially reached an amicable agreement, it is clear that there has been a subsequent breakdown which highlights just how easily disputes can arise in respect of child arrangements.
We encourage parties who are in discussion with an ex-partner regarding child arrangements to seek legal support from a qualified Family Law lawyer, and to put in writing an agreement when you have reached one for absolute clarity.
