Divorce is never easy. And it’s worse when your beloved pet is caught in the middle yet this seems to be happening more and more. Animal law emerged only about 10 years ago, and today half of the 190 accredited law schools in the United States, including Harvard and Yale, offer courses in animal law, including pet custody. The Huffington Post reports that there has been a 23 percent jump in pet custody cases.

Understanding how the family court views the family pet — and that it rarely intervenes in pet custody — can help you make choices that will improve your chances of hanging onto your hound or kitty cat.
