Why Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas can’t ‘meaningfully’ share custody of their kids

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 23:44:30 GMT

Joe Jonas may be more amenable these days to forging a civil relationship with Sophie Turner as the estranged couple continue mediation this week, reportedly to decide on a joint custody agreement for their two young daughters.But there is one reason that a 50/50 arrangement isn’t practical for Turner and Jonas, according to a family law expert. The “Game of Thrones” star has made it clear she wants to settle down in her native U.K. and raise their daughters there.

The Big Ten is open to playing non-conference games in November as it moves into the expansion era, with the conference growing to 18 schools next year and the College Football Playoff to 12 teams.“It’s a conversation we’re open to,” chief operating officer Kerry Kenny told the Hotline on Thursday following the release of the Big Ten’s conference schedule rotation for a five-year period.“We haven’t had any in-depth discussions, but we want to be thoughtful.”Reconfiguring the Big Ten schedule to accommodate a non-conference game in November would be a deeply complicated process that could take years to implement because of non-conference matchups under contract for the opening weeks of future seasons.Before the conference office begins modeling scenarios, the Big Ten schools and media partners would need to show enough interest to justify the process.To this point, Kenny said, the focus has been on determining the multi-year schedule rotation once the four West Coast schools join the...
