During the divorce settlement, the courts decide which spouse intends to acquire the property. You may have already known, but did you also know that your family pets are only part of your possessions? No matter how many years you’ve spent a pet or how much you love it, the court considers it just another article to share between the couple. You may have heartbreak when you can lose your beloved pet with all the other things you’ll lose, and you might consider trying to save your marriage instead of leaving it. Still, there are some things you can do to get your pet in custody if you are even divorced.
