After what started off as a messy divorce and even messier custody battle for their daughters, Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have landed on an amicable, though temporary, resolution.

Back on September 21, the Game of Thrones actress, 27, filed a lawsuit against the Jonas Brothers singer, 34, demanding that their kids, daughters Willa and Delphine, be returned to their mom's home country of England.

Shortly after, the two landed on a temporary agreement where the girls were not allowed to leave the New York area, however they have now settled on a new custody arrangement.

Court documents obtained by People reveal that Joe and Sophie will be swapping time with their daughters back and forth until early 2024, when their new interim consent order expires.

The court documents share in detail the estranged couple's schedule and custody agreement for the upcoming months, and that they have until the end of December to establish a plan beyond the interim consent order.

For now, the two girls, who are three and one years old, will remain with their mom until October 21 – the three have been residing in Taylor Swift's TriBeCa apartment – and they are allowed to travel throughout both the United States and England during that time.

Joe and Sophie started dating in 2016, when she was 20 and he was 27

She argued that prior to their divorce, they planned to raise their daughters in England, and that they are "fully involved and integrated in all aspects of daily and cultural life in England," receive their primary healthcare in the country, and "participate in extracurricular activities, playdates, and cultural activities" across the pond.

In a statement to HELLO!, Joe's reps in turn argued: "After multiple conversations with Sophie, Joe initiated divorce proceedings in Florida, as Florida is the appropriate jurisdiction for the case," adding: "Sophie was aware that Joe was going to file for divorce. The Florida Court has already entered an order that restricts both parents from relocating the children. Sophie was served with this order on September 6, 2023, more than two weeks ago."
