FAQ
In the United States, pets are usually considered property in divorce cases. If your divorce decree states you share the dog evenly, both you and your ex-spouse have rights to the dog. However, if you want to relocate with the dog and your ex-husband disagrees, it could lead to a legal dispute.
Find Proof of Purchase. In most states, particularly when dealing with unmarried couples, the person who bought the dog or proves that the dog is their property is the one who keeps the dog.
In a legal sense, the owner is the person who bought the dog, unless they bought it for someone else and signed over ownership. You see this issue frequently in pedigree show dogs where you may have the monetary owner but the dog is raised and trained by someone else, the dog still remains the property of the buyer.
(c) "Owner" when applied to the proprietorship of a dog means every person having a right of property in the dog, and every person who keeps or harbors the dog or has it in his care, and every person who permits the dog to remain on or about any premises occupied by him.
The pet should go to whoever's in a better position to care for it, in terms of financial security, paying for stuff like vet visits, and making time to do stuff with the pet like taking them out for walks.
Unfortunately, animals are still considered property and property division after a break up is best handled by negotiation. You might be able to find a mediator that might help you negotiate something with your ex.
How to make a dog parenting plan after a breakup Decide if there will be a primary caregiver. Make a calendar or spreadsheet for sharing time. Create a savings account for expenses. Keep the dog on the same routine in both homes. When in doubt, get legal advice. Get a prenuptial agreement for dogs (i.e. a “pupnup”)
No. There is no such thing as custody for a dog. Dogs are property. Whomever purchased the dog, it is their property. There may be a legal dispute over who owns the property, but that's for a civil court to decide.
