Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner might be ending their marriage, but they have no plans of giving up their children, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 14 months.
According to reports, following the announcement of their divorce, the couple have headed straight to court for the custody battle and parenting plan for their daughters.
"The parties are both seeing their children, which is what we all want," said Stephen Cullen, the lawyer representing the "Game of Thrones" star, also noting that Jonas wants "50-50" custody alongside Turner.
Their lawyers asked for a mediation which is expected to last for four days because the former couple could not come to an agreement regarding the setup with their children's custody.
Sophie Turner Sues Joe Jonas For 'Wrongful Retention'
According to reports, Turner sued the "Cake by the Ocean" singer for withholding their daughters' passports after she demanded they return with her to her home country, England.
Her lawsuit is also asking for them to return with her to England, which was their "original" plan in the first place.
Turner revealed in a letter written by Jonas, who was trying to convince a homeowner in Oxford to sell them the house.
"When my wife and I decided we were going to spend more time in the UK and search for a permanent home, our daughters expressed three unwavering requirements: having chickens, a pony and a Wendy house," Jonas wrote.
"While many of the houses we viewed met this criteria, the moment we turned the corner and caught sight of the charming blue shutters adorning [redacted], we experienced a sense of magic unlike anything we had felt before."

According to reports, Jonas denied that Turner found out about their divorce through the media, and he also claims that they have already worked out a co-parenting plan.
