Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have until the end of January to hammer out a divorce settlement – or they must prepare for a bare-knuckle court battle, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The status of the marital negotiations was laid bare in a conference hearing before Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge David Young who had given the high-profile couple until December 14 to hash out their differences.
Powerhouse attorney Dori Foster-Morales, who represents the Game of Thrones beauty told the judge the couple needs another month to possibly settle.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Jonas, 34, blindsided Turner in September by filing divorce papers in Miami while she was in the UK working on a film project.
Turner retaliated and slammed the Gotta Find You hip-shaker with a federal lawsuit in New York accusing him violating international child abduction laws by refusing to hand over their two daughters’ passports which prevented them from traveling to the UK to be with their mother.
The federal lawsuit was tabled pending settlement negotiations in Florida where Judge Young issued an “Agreed Order of Abatement” so that the estranged couple can hash out the custody arrangements for their daughters, ages 3 and 1.

“I wish more cases had abatements and had the parents acting like parents instead of like children, my job would be a heck of a lot easier.”
