Question: We had a family dog when we separated - will the Court give either of us custody of the dog?
Answer: In Canada, the word "custody" does not apply to pets in a legal sense. Courts do not preside over hearings where parties fight over custody of a cat or pet or budgie. The Court may turn its attention to a pet, as a possession/chattel, especially in a case where there are children who have bonded with the pet.
