Pet Custody Legal Rights

Often times, pets can be used by a party in a divorce as a bargaining chip or as a means to inflict pain on the other party. N.J. Courts have held that while animals are property, they are not to be considered as if they were a piece of furniture or an automobile. They are recognized for their special subjective value to their human companions. A shared custody and visitation agreement can be prepared to permit couples to continue interacting with their animal friend.

The Court will not reward a party who uses a pet as a pawn in negotiation, such as they will not reward a person who uses a child as such. It is fortunate that N.J. Courts are now recognizing the rights of animals over the rights of the parties in pet custody cases.
