Joint Custody (50/50) isn't enough for Thomas - The World of the Bold & the Beautiful Fan Forum

Apparently, Thomas has joint custody, but he has chosen, for some reason unbeknownst to US the viewers to not take advantage of it, to not spend as much time with Douglas as he has ALREADY been allotted. Hope made it clear that she doesn't hinder or hamper that relationship. So it's on THOMAS for the reason he and Douglas do not see each other.

It's poor writing because the show seems like it's never gonna tell us why Thomas stopped stepping up with his joint custody. Additionally, he said he "let" Liam and Hope make the majority of the choices for Douglas. Well, with Joint custody, that's Thomas' fault, too. He just fell off the damn parenting wagon. Sure do wish the writers would tell us why.

The thing I dislike the most about what Thomas said today was how he felt about Liam being a father figure to Douglas. That's going to happen anytime there are step-parents. Liam is grateful to Finn for his role in Kelly's life. I can't imagine how Steffy would feel if Liam said that about Finn and if Liam decided he was going to be the primary parent for Kelly.

I wish Liam would do it.

Thomas said he didn’t like Liam having the primary father role, and he’s right. Liam is part of Douglas’ life, but not to supplant Thomas.

I didn't hear anyone say anything about "primary father role" today. He told Hope that he had to be the primary parent, NOT HER.

As for his statement about Liam -- Hope said Liam has treated Douglas like his own. Thomas said, "And that's the problem. Douglas is my son." Oh, no. That's the way wrong way to look at something like this. Step parents SHOULD treat their stepkids as their own.

Thomas is his father, so he should be the primary parent. He shouldn’t be having access or permission or visitation to his own son.

And Hope is the LEGAL adoptive mother and should be the primary parent. He didn't have to ask for permission. He chose to. He didn't have to just have visitation. He chose to. They said TODAY that he had LEGAL joint custody. As I said in the OP, it is Thomas' fault for slacking off and not taking full advantage of his JOINT custody agreement.

Definitely Hope and Tom are the decescion makers …Liam can add his two cents of course

I want Liam to do that too, if this all becomes an issue. Time for the Spencers to go after a little payback on the Faux Forresters. LOL

It would also be interesting to see what Steffy would do in a conflict with Liam about Kelly. She's always given in to him before.

I think Liam should go after 50 percent physical custody of Kelly. Liam IS her father not Finn. I don't know why he allowed Steffy to take Kelly to MC. She needed one stable parent while Steffy was grieving. Notice we haven't heard of Kelly spending any time with her father nor are we getting to see that on screen. Steffy gets to call the shots? Ridiculous It should be 50 50 with Kelly.

Right. There Ridge is thanking Liam for letting Steffy do whatever the hell she wants to do with Liam's child and now he's over there rooting for Thomas to assert his fatherly rights. :roll

They can't have it both ways. I think it's time The Tridge clan realized that. Liam should talk with Bill and tell him he misses his daughter. Then Bill can suggest he assert his rights like he had to with Katie regarding Will. There is NO custody agreement between Steffy and Liam. What do they say? What's good for the goose?

Isn't that why most of the custody battles start on soaps? Stephanie wanted to hurt Brooke so she took her kids. Katie and the group wanted to hurt Bill so they went after Will. The only custody hearing that wasn't done in anger was over Jack because of Taylor's drinking.

Tomas looks bad now. Hope has been taking care of Douglas for years. She is his mother. He cant just walk in and dictate every move everyone makes. Kelly should be with her BIO dad, not step dad, correct? What is the criteria? Just being a Forrester/Marone?

Liam appears to be happy with the way things are with Kelly. He could have been a full-time dad to her but married the one he knocked up on the cabin floor. For the last time I will say the two situations are very different.

And? Why does he get to decide? Shouldn't it be a joint decision? And if they can't agree to terms then it would have to go to court.

Well, why does Hope get to decide? lol

I think Liam should go after 50 percent physical custody of Kelly. Liam IS her father not Finn. I don't know why he allowed Steffy to take Kelly to MC. She needed one stable parent while Steffy was grieving. Notice we haven't heard of Kelly spending any time with her father nor are we getting to see that on screen. Steffy gets to call the shots? Ridiculous It should be 50 50 with Kelly.

I would love to see that. The Forrester's heads would be spinning so fast that it would look like an Exorcist movie.

so just to get revenge for Hope, Kelly should be used and at the centre of a custody battle?

That would be disgusting and make Liam look mean bell won’t do that…besides how many can you stuff in a cabin

Pretty sure that isnt the smallest house in America. Many live in apartments that are small. How many can one stuff in an apartment? Youre right, it does make Thomas look bad. Liam is the father. Not Finn

How exactly would Liam going after Kelly for revenge make Thomas look bad? It would only make Lope look more pitiful than they are now.

Tomas looks bad now. Hope has been taking care of Douglas for years. She is his mother. He cant just walk in and dictate every move everyone makes. Kelly should be with her BIO dad, not step dad, correct? What is the criteria? Just being a Forrester/Marone?

Thomas does not look bad at all. Hope cannot just dictate that Douglas will stay with her.This isn't like squatter's right for a piece of property. Just because he has been with her for a few years doesn't mean that he gets to live with her until he is 18.
Liam appears to be happy with the way things are with Kelly. He could have been a full-time dad to her but married the one he knocked up on the cabin floor. For the last time I will say the two situations are very different.

Why cant they share custody? Why does one have to dictate over the other?

Hope doesn't even want to consider anything but Douglas living with her. She wants to be in charge.

They just may have to get a judge. Now, this could be some great tv. :lol

Neither one should get to make a unilateral decision. But it's Thomas that is trying to. He's the one that is trying to change the arrangement.

Taylor and Steffy are pushing Thomas to make Douglas the center of a custody battle to get revenge on the Logans. Liam is Kelly's father, why shouldn't he get 50 percent physical custody of Kelly? Why is Steffy so much more special than Liam?

I have come to believe that the point of the story is not the custody. It’s disjointed with gaps. It’s just a tool to break up Bridge. What’s irritating is that they don’t have to work so hard. The fans are for it.

They could have used the Tridge kiss to break up Bridge. It would have at least made one fan base happy. It makes no sense to make such a big deal about that kiss only for Ridge to tell Brooke he loves only her and not Taylor. If I were a Tridge fan that would have royally pissed me off. And most Bridge fans are already pissed off and don't want them together. If they're using Doug to separate them after having the perfect opportunity with the kiss and not using it, the writers are even worse than I thought. After such a contrived storyline, by the time Tridge finally do get together I don't know if anyone will even care about them.

I know. I am wondering if they won't break up over this Douglas thing, but will just be at odds over it. Next week Taylor and Brooke get into it. I thought it would be about the kiss, but now it might be about Douglas, or maybe Ridge leaves Brooke and Brooke let's Taylor know, everything Ridge told her before the Douglas stuff came out. Taylor won't care. She will twist it all and be glad she got Ridge by default, again. It is the only way she has ever been able to get him, default. What I do know is if Ridge leaves Brooke, we all know it is not because he doesn't want only her. Because he said today, she is all he wants. LOL

It makes a lot of sense. If this ends up with Ridge back with Taylor, it appeases the Bridge fans to know, Taylor is only second choice, and he told Brooke she was all he wanted, who he wanted to be with, only her. That means, they are going to do it again. Tridge almost to the altar, or even married, and he will dump her again to be with Brooke. This time I don't think it will be another man, I think it will be Sheila doing something to Brooke, that will make Ridge go and save her, and realizing, siding with Tom was not worth losing the love of his life, and visa versa. Taylor played by KA has never been dumped by Ridge, it is just her initiation into playing the character and maybe, changing the destiny of the character and she never looks back at Ridge again, after being humiliated, again.

They did this when he dumped Brooke to marry Taylor at the fake heart attack wedding. He immediately after the wedding ran to Brooke to tell her he was confused, and wanted her to wait, and she told him to hit the road. She then became involved with Nick, and Ridge could not stand it, and he and Taylor had issues over it, and he dumped her when she confessed to sleeping with James and being a judgmental witch to Brooke, when she herself was a cheat. He dumped Taylor and went back to Brooke after the Man'Horse wedding, and he did it very clever, he gave her the choice to stay married knowing he loved Brooke more, or to break it off with him. She broke it off and he ran out the door so fast to Brooke, Taylor's hair blew in the wind he left behind. LOL
