Bridget Maasland is starting to get a little tired of the legal tug-of-war between ex-lovers Jorik Scholten (Lil Kleine) and Jaimie Vaes. “Of course it is very childish.”
The divorce between Jorik Scholten and Jaimie Vaes is anything but pleasant. There is a lot of fuss about the custody of their son Lío, but there are many more issues surrounding it. Whether it concerns Rolex watches or a toaster: everything seems to have to be settled in court.
Toaster
Bridget Maasland thinks the tug-of-war over stuff is lame. “Couldn’t he have said right away: ‘Dude, just keep everything, I really only care about dealing with my child’?”, she says in RTL Boulevard.
Her colleague Rob Goossens then: “Yes, in retrospect, because now you hear two people who both say: ‘No, it’s just stuff, it’s about Lío. But in the meantime, you have both spent how much money on lawyers to attract a toaster, among other things.”
‘Very childish’
It’s all starting to really bother Bridget. “Of course it is all very childish. With this, of course, we actually overshadow what it is about. It is about a little three-year-old boy who just has to get on with life and it would be very nice if that could be done with both his mother and his father.”
Rob agrees. “It’s about Lio. Jorik actually also made a very stupid mistake by not arranging custody right after his birth. He’s just the father, there’s no doubt about that, but since they weren’t married, you still have to sort out that custody.”
Mother’s heart
Arranging custody is nothing complicated at all, according to Rob. “That can all be done online, you really don’t have to do any crazy things for that. Now it is true that Jorik needs Jaimie to arrange that and now Jaimie is of course a lot less well disposed to him.”
Jaimie has to jump over her shadow, Bridget thinks. “I think her mother’s heart must say somewhere: ‘Indeed, it will still be the father of your child’, so I don’t think it will be a 50/50 split, but that he could see his child .”
Two adults
Once, says Rob, but: “It is very human to have something like: even if I do think that the father is allowed to see my child, I want to be able to make some decisions about that myself. The moment she now has 100 percent authority, she can indicate per day whether Jorik is allowed to see his child.”
“That’s a nice feeling, but in the end it’s two adults who have to be able to get out.”
