On August 13, 1971, John and Yoko landed in New York City for a break from the UK that would turn out to be permanent. Promoting the soon-to-be released 'Imagine' LP, they moved into the St. Regis Hotel on Fifth Avenue before renting a top-floor, two-room apartment at 105 Bank Street in Greenwich Village the following month.

Tony and Yoko Ono Cox had an open marriage - their daughter Kyoko was used to seeing them with other lovers. They moved to London in 1965; the following year, Yoko met John Lennon. By the Summer of 1968, while Tony and Kyoko were in France, John and Yoko became inseparable lovers. Tony and Yoko got divorced on February 2, 1969 in the Virgin Islands. Everything was settled amicable, except for one thing: custody of Kyoko. Originally, Yoko was to have custody with Tony having visitation rights. However, Tony was Kyoko's hands-on doting parent since her birth. He soon grew concerned about John and Yoko's hectic lifestyle in the spotlight whenever she was with them. After John's car accident in Scotland in July of 1969 with Yoko, Kyoko, and Julian in the car (Kyoko received 4 stitches), Tony freaked out and insisted that from then on he would accompany Kyoko whenever she visited Yoko. By the Summer of 1970, John grew unhappy with Tony's control over Kyoko and his pressure treatment on Yoko that when Tony invited them to Kyoko's birthday party in August John refused to go and forbade Yoko to go. She was devastated in knowing that Kyoko was watching the door for her mother to arrive. Whenever Tony tried to contact Yoko, he would be blocked by the assistants. As the months wore on, Tony got paranoid over John's fame and money, fearing the thought of losing Kyoko. In April of 1971, Tony, his wife Melinda, and Kyoko abruptly left England for Spain. "We shared custody because that has been the hippy thing- sharing. Tony thought John had been an easy touch, but John could be tough over money. Once the custody thing was settled, he refused to pay Tony's legal expenses." -Yoko *** "It was very painful losing my mom, but I loved my dad too." -Kyoko (2003) *** “I told myself that at least he loves her. Maybe she was OK with him. I was going through so much prejudice I questioned everything.” -Yoko (2012) *** “I was not getting a fair shake at all.” -Tony (1986)
Kyoko Ono and Tony Cox in Wheaton, Illinois where she went to college during 1985.
At the time, Kyoko was attending Dutch Montessori Lyceum and would have to drop out as Tony also wanted her to work on the film with him. He would pay her as his only employee and Kyoko really wanted to go to college. Over the years, she taught herself to read after missing a lot of school. Kyoko agreed as long as the documentary didn't involved John Lennon and Yoko Ono. They returned to the United States from Europe to work on the documentary when Tony and Kyoko heard John was murdered in 1980. They were shocked by the awful news and sent Yoko a telegram with their condolences. For a brief moment, Tony and Kyoko considered to reach out to Yoko but Kyoko thought it would be a very bad time for Tony to reenter her life. Kyoko realized how messed up Tony was and didn't want him to involve her mother and go to jail. In 1986, Tony surfaced to the public eye to release his short documentary film, Vain Glory, about his experience with The Walk with Kyoko listed as associate producer. Tony told the press that if Kyoko wanted to reunite with Yoko, it would be her decision. Yoko responded by publishing an open letter to Kyoko. However, whenever Kyoko told Tony she wanted to get back in touch with Yoko, Tony repeatedly told her that it would ruin him. He hired a lawyer in Houston to see if there was still an arrest warrant - there was with Yoko renewing it every year. Kyoko didn't know how to get in touch with Yoko without having her dad be arrested. In the meantime, she managed to go to college and received both Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts. By the time Kyoko got married to Jim Helfrich, he's a lawyer and informed Kyoko she didn't need to worry about an arrest warrant on her father as it was a pro forma step taken to retain the help of the police to find a missing child; custody battles don't end up in serious jail time. "Mom says now that she wouldn't have put him in jail, but as a child, I didn't know what was going to happen. I was protective." -Kyoko (2003)

Киоко Оно и Тони Кокс в Уитоне, Иллинойс, где она училась в колледже в 1985 году.
В то время Кёко училась в голландском Монтессори-лицее, но ей пришлось бросить учебу, так как Тони хотел, чтобы она работала вместе с ним над фильмом. Он платил ей как своему единственному сотруднику, а Кёко очень хотела поступить в колледж. За годы учебы она научилась читать, пропустив много занятий. Кёко согласилась, лишь бы в документальном фильме не было Джона Леннона и Йоко Оно. Они вернулись в США из Европы, чтобы работать над документальным фильмом, когда Тони и Кёко узнали, что Джон был убит в 1980 году. Они были потрясены этой ужасной новостью и послали Йоко телеграмму со своими соболезнованиями. На мгновение Тони и Кёко задумались о том, чтобы связаться с Йоко, но Кёко решила, что это очень неподходящее время для того, чтобы Тони снова вошел в ее жизнь. Кёко понимала, как сильно запутался Тони, и не хотела, чтобы он втянул в это дело ее мать и попал в тюрьму. В 1986 году Тони появился на публике, выпустив короткометражный документальный фильм "Тщетная слава" о своем опыте работы в группе The Walk с Кёко в качестве ассоциированного продюсера. Тони заявил прессе, что если Кёко захочет воссоединиться с Йоко, то это будет ее решение. В ответ Йоко опубликовала открытое письмо Кёко. Однако всякий раз, когда Кёко говорила Тони, что хочет воссоединиться с Йоко, Тони повторял ей, что это его погубит. Он нанял адвоката в Хьюстоне, чтобы выяснить, существует ли еще ордер на арест, - он существовал, и Йоко каждый год продлевала его. Кёко не знала, как связаться с Йоко, чтобы не арестовать отца. Тем временем ей удалось поступить в колледж и получить степень бакалавра искусств и магистра искусств. К тому времени, когда Кёко вышла замуж за Джима Хелфрича, он был адвокатом и сообщил Кёко, что ей не нужно беспокоиться об ордере на арест отца, поскольку это формальный шаг, предпринятый для привлечения полиции к поиску пропавшего ребенка; споры об опеке не приводят к серьезным тюремным срокам. "Сейчас мама говорит, что не посадила бы его в тюрьму, но в детстве я не знала, что произойдет. Я была защищена." -Кёко (2003)
