Pets and Ending Relationships

By: Laura Ayala

When going through a break-up there is often a dog, a cat or another pet that needs to be considered.  For some, who will keep or have primary placement of the family pet is of utmost importance and can become an area of conflict that could result in the need for negotiations or contested hearings.  Of course, some folks may scoff at such a notion but for us pet lovers, this is no laughing matter.  At Henry Family Law Offices, LLC we have experience in resolving pet matters and conflicts due to divorce or ending relationships and we want to help you.  As the office manager, paralegal and bottle washer at Henry Family Law Offices, LLC, I am the proud owner of two dogs – Sparky the Wonder Dog (a.k.a. Bear) and Selena Felice Ayala (very naughty but soooo adorable) and two cats – “The baby” who once weighed in at 22 pounds and Josie (sweet as pie).  I typically assist the attorneys on most of their cases and I am a strong advocate for pet owners.  Give us a call if you are in the midst of making a decision about your pet due to a divorce or an ending relationship and see if we can help.  ​​
