Now we can guess the new SL for lope isn’t a triangle but surely a custody battle for Douglas …
Doesn’t it also mean no Logan for Thomas ! No Katie no Bridget would side with him and help him against Hope
Can we dream BB hire a long overdue new love interest for MA ?
I sure hope Paris CANNOT be his next pairing !
Thoughts ?

Hoping you are right, love to see Douglas AWAY from Hope, he needs to be with his father and a new wife.

Why? Hope is Doug's LEGAL mother and the ONLY mother he can remember. Why in the world would any judge allow him to be taken away from a loving home where his little sister lives, to go and be with the man that WANTED him to live with his adoptive mother? And then Doug would have to get to know and live with some strange woman, if Tom gets lucky? I really hope this is the one SL Bell tires to do real to life. Tom would not stand a snowballs chance in hell of taking that kid to live with him permanently. A family court judge would read through all the record and know that the arrangement they have now, is working just fine. I cannot even think what Tom would use as his reason for instigating this kind of battle. Hope is the legal mother, per Tom's doing. She is as legal a mother to him as if she gave birth to him herself. Tom seems pretty comfortable having Doug whenever he wants, overnights with him, and Tom currently has no home of his own. It is not like Tom wants to stop paying child support, he doesn't pay it now. It is not like Tom doesn't share 50/50 legal custody with Hope, he shares that now. He just does not have physical custody because the court declares only one parent can have it.
Also, if this is allowed, then maybe Liam should tell Steffy he wants Kelly to come live with him and Hope permanently, and she can have visitation anytime she wants. It would be no different than what Tom is going to try and pull. And why not? Steffy just checked herself into a mental institutions, not her first time in rehab either. Kelly has a sister close to her own age at Liam's. So, she won't be losing a sibling living in the home with her. Since Finn is a doctor, he is not around as much to help, like Hope is for Liam. Both families have grandmothers living on the same property to help. Yeah, I think Liam should go after physical custody of Kelly. He is her daddy after all, not Finn.

There’s a difference as Hope is not Douglas biological child while Kelly is Steffy’s biological child
As if a judge would get Kelly aways from her mother bc she had a breakdown over losing her husband and being shot !
A trial exposing Hope banging Steffy s husband and getting knocked up right after Kelly was born would be fun to watch though

The law does not work that way. Adoptive parents are exactly the same as bio-parents under the eyes of the law. No difference. And IMHO, there is no difference. Hope is Doug's mother in every sense of the word .
Yes, a judge could order Kelly to live at Liam's given Steffy's history of drug addiction, which is documented through her stint in rehab. And, now she has checked herself into a facility for depression. Hope sleeping with Liam before they were married, and he was either divorced or the papers were filed, would not even get mentioned. If they tried it would be shut down in a nanosecond by the judge. Not to mention, if they allowed that to go through, then Liam could easily mention that he was separated from his wife because she banged his dad and didn't know who got in there first to make the baby, him or his father. Unfortunately for Steffy, her dirt is much dirtier than anything Hope has done, and Steffy has been in a rehab for drug addiction, Hope and Liam have not, and Steffy is now in a facility for depression. Also, the SOD down the road says that Steffy is having some sort of mental breakdown over everything and becomes overly possessive with Finn. It would not matter anyway. If Hope and Liam had a full blown affair while he was living with Steffy as his wife, they would not look at that when it comes to custody. They don't in Indiana, so they sure as hell would not in California. LOL
