PET PROBLEMS
WHO GETS SPOT AFTER THE DIVORCE? If you live in one of the 67% of American households that owns pets, there’s a good chance you think of them as family. However, Tennessee law doesn’t have the same opinion as you. It can be difficult for couples facing divorce to learn that dogs, cats, and other pets are legally considered property. This fact leaves the family pet susceptible to distribution, similar to property, vehicles, and possessions. However, unlike bank accounts or other financial assets, you can’t split a pet in half. It's important to keep multiple factors in mind when deciding what to do with a pet. If you have kids, one of the easiest ways to determine where the family pet should live is to consider where your children will primarily live. For most kids, having a pet in the home softens the transition of a divorce and helps them emotionally process this change. It may be a lot for just one parent to manage both the children and the pets, but it could be the best option for kids. However, there are other important considerations to keep in mind, especially if you don’t have kids. Ask the following questions and others to help reach a decision: Who is available to give the pet attention? Who can afford the pet? Who has the right home environment best suited for the pet? If you and your soon-to-be ex cannot come to an agreement on your pet’s future home, a mediator could potentially help determine the best solution. In some cases, joint custody —an arrangement similiar to joint custody of children — is an option. Some couples may choose to have the pet travel with the child between households rather than having it occupying one home. If an agreement cannot be made outside of court, then a judge will make the final decision, but keep in mind that pets are seen as property by the courts. A judge’s decision may seem callous, but their decision-making process is based on property distribution considerations and other factors. And remember, while no other pet can replace the one you love, there are plenty of animals in need of good homes. You can always adopt after your divorce.
