<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Last year saw an estimated 101,500 divorces, with over a quarter involving the custody of a dog or cat.<\/p>\n<p>In around half of these divorces, the pets were prioritised over property and cars, furniture, electrical items, household goods and jewellery.<\/p>\n<p>On average, family lawyers are spending nearly 24 hours per divorce case discussing what will happen to the pet &#8211; which is the equivalent of three days work and upwards of \u00a37,000.<\/p>\n<p>Meaning if you don&#8217;t have a pet-nup, it could cost you a whole lot of money.<\/p>\n<h2>How does the court decide who keeps the dog?<\/h2>\n<p>In most cases, the court will always look into what is in the best interest of the pet, and they will also look at the primary caregiver.<\/p>\n<p>Over two fifths of divorce lawyers listed payment of daily care as the key factor, while over a quarter said the person listed as the owner on relevant paperwork is important.<\/p>\n<p>Other factors can include living situations and who will have a garden, and the court may take into account who has custody of the children.<\/p>\n<p>If an animal was bought for the child, it will most likely have to stay with them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-container\" data-redesign-embed=\"true\">\n<figure class=\"image--embedded\" data-orientation=\"landscape\" itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\"

deciding who gets to keep the pet.<\/p>\n<p>Many will set up a financial agreement and others may commit to shared custody.<\/p>\n<p>Some will take the difficult decision of giving up ownership to their ex-partner or family member, and then there are couples who decide to give up their pet.<\/p>\n<p>One fifth of couples reportedly give their pet to a rescue shelter and 14 per cent sell their pet on.<\/p>\n<p>Of extreme concern is the number of people who would consider having their pet put down, at 16 per cent.<\/p>\n<h2>How do divorces affect the pet?<\/h2>\n<p>While breakups are tough for all involved, the disruption can also impact animals.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly half of pet owners who have experienced a breakup believe their pet&#8217;s health was negatively affected by the breakdown of the relationship, some even needing veterinary treatment as a result.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-container\" data-redesign-embed=\"true\">\n<figure class=\"image--embedded\"
