Joe Jonas is reportedly looking for an amicable solution with Sophie Turner in their divorce, especially regarding their children. Mediation between the former couple began in New York City to establish a joint parenting plan for their daughters, Willa and Delphine.
Jonas and Turner’s divorce took a turn for the worse when the actress accused the singer of “kidnapping” their daughter in a lawsuit. At the time, Turner demanded “the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained.”
Turner also claims in her lawsuit that she found out about her divorce through the media and that the “breakdown” of her marriage happened “very suddenly.”

According to insiders, Joe Jonas is aiming for an amicable settlement with his estranged wife, Sophie Turner, amid their divorce proceedings, which have become a mess over a child custody dispute.
Sources disclosed to Page Six that the “Sucker” singer is “committed to making it work with Sophie in mediation and doesn’t want to fight — as long as they can come to a fair agreement about the kids.”
The mediation process began in New York City on Wednesday and is scheduled to last four days, with their lawyers emphasizing the goal of establishing a joint parenting plan for their two daughters: Willa, age 3, and Delphine, age 1.

During the scheduled mediation, Turner’s lawyer, Stephen Cullen, intends to “resolve the matter” under international Hague Convention Treaty law.
Jonas’ legal team, led by Richard Min, also supports the mediation process, stressing that his team is “optimistic they have given space to mediate, and four days is enough time.”
LA-based family law expert Steve Mindel mentions People magazine that private mediation allows both parties to resolve their issues amicably. He states, “Mediation is a common way to make headlines disappear.”
“At this point, Joe and Sophie need to sit down and make a decision – and a mediator will help them make that decision – whether or not they want to go public with this,” he continued.
“If the mediation proves successful, Jonas and Turner will likely enter into a custody agreement that lasts about three years until their oldest child, Willa, will attend kindergarten,” added Mindel. “That’s probably about as far as they’re going to get in this mediation.”
