Your spouse, your children and your beloved pets have lived together as a family for the last 10 years, but one of you has now filed for divorce. Who gets the kids? Who gets the wedding china? Who gets Fido? Obviously, every court in the country treats the custody of children differently than personal property. So where do pets fit in?
