Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have ensured their financial matters are well-protected, having negotiated a strong prenuptial agreement before their marriage, according to sources close to the situation.
The A-list couple, both of whom possessed substantial wealth before their union, enlisted top-tier attorneys to reach a comprehensive financial arrangement.
Here are the key provisions of their prenuptial agreement:
Retaining Pre-Marriage Assets: Joe Jonas will maintain all of his music royalties earned with his brothers, as well as anything generated or earned with his other band, DNCE. Likewise, Sophie Turner will retain her earnings from “Game Of Thrones” and any residuals from her acting career.
Property Ownership: Any property acquired before the marriage will remain in the name of the original owner. While the couple jointly owned homes in Miami, Los Angeles, and the U.K., the properties will be retained by their respective owners. The only property subject to division is their marital home, which, in most cases, would be sold and the proceeds divided.
Image Rights and Businesses: Both Sophie and Joe will maintain ownership of their image rights and businesses associated with their celebrity status.
However, the prenuptial agreement does not address custody and child support, as California law prohibits pre-negotiating these matters in the event of having children. Custody and living arrangements for their two minor daughters will ultimately be determined by a judge.
The location where the children have primarily resided for the past six months will be a significant factor in determining custody. Reports suggest that Sophie Turner has spent considerable time in England, potentially influencing the jurisdiction of the case. Parties often aim to have their cases heard in California due to favorable child support laws.
Child support payments will be determined based on the monthly income of each person. If Joe Jonas earns significantly more than Sophie, he may be responsible for child support. However, either party can seek modifications if there are substantial changes in their respective incomes.
While Joe Jonas has reportedly contemplated divorce for some time and has engaged a family law attorney in Los Angeles, there remains the possibility that the divorce may not proceed or that the couple could reconcile. Joe has been seen wearing his wedding ring and performing a song he wrote for Sophie during his concerts, leading fans to hope for a reconciliation.
