Actor Sophie Turner withdrew "wrongful retention" claims against her estranged husband, singer-songwriter Joe Jonas, regarding the custody of their two daughters.
Court documents obtained by People on Wednesday reveal that a U.S. judge endorsed the dismissal of the filing after Turner and Jonas signed a consent plan, which had received approval from a U.K. judge the previous week.
In September last year, Turner, 27, filed a lawsuit against Jonas, 34, citing wrongful retention. Turner claimed that Jonas was holding onto their daughters' passports and preventing their return to England.
The couple shares two children, Delphine, 18 months, and Willa, 3. The legal complaint sought the immediate return of the children, alleging that the "wrongful retention" started on Sept. 20.
Jonas and Turner on Wednesday mutually agreed to have the filing dismissed "with prejudice, and without attorneys' fees, expenses, costs and/or disbursements awarded to either party" and without awarding attorneys' fees, expenses, costs, or disbursements to either party.
This decision followed the approval of their parenting agreement in the U.K. on Jan. 11.
Before the dismissal, and in response to Turner's filing in September, Jonas issued a statement contesting her claims.
At the time, Jonas expressed his belief that they had come to an agreement to collaborate on a co-parenting plan.
On Sept. 25, Turner and Jonas reached a temporary agreement to keep their two daughters in New York City, as indicated by documents filed in New York and acquired by People.
The interim consent order specified that Turner and Jonas were instructed to keep their children within the Southern and Eastern districts of New York.
They later released a joint statement saying, "After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the UK."
The statement concluded: "We look forward to being great co-parents."
Jonas filed for a dissolution of marriage in Miami from Turner, who he was married to for four years, on Sept. 5, claiming "the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken."
A prenuptial agreement was in place, according to the divorce filing.
