Pet Custody Lawyer New York, NY
If you are concerned about obtaining custody of your pet, please know that we empathize with your situation. It can be painful to imagine not having your pet, especially when going through a separation or divorce. Our New York pet custody lawyer can help you create a strong case for why you are the best parent to have custody of your pet. As our pet custody attorney explains, the pet custody criteria is different compared to children. For the state of New York, pets are not treated as personal property nor like kids in custody disputes. Instead, determining the custody of pets will be based on what is best for everyone involved. For instance, when deciding which party has custody of the pet, the court may consider how the animal was cared for during the relationship, how they were acquired, and the arrangement between the parties for how time will be spent with the pet after their split.
To keep custody of your pet, you don’t have to attend court. Many couples who separate are able to use dispute resolution methods to determine pet custody. You and your former partner may want to try mediation before attending court, as this can save time, money, and stress. If the matter does go to court, some factors taken into consideration may include the health of your pet and if you have time and resources to care for them, or if your children live mainly with you and if you need them for emotional support amidst divorce. When meeting with our pet custody attorney, we may ask you who adopted the pet, who has regularly cared for them, who has spent the most time with them, if one arrangement is better for their interests, and if shared custody is a practical choice.
