Although many pet owners view pets as members of their family, nearly all states in the United States view pets as property. During divorce proceedings, the fate of a pet is determined in accordance with marital property laws governing that state. Some courts have begun moving towards considering the best interest of the pet when determining custody. However, if keeping custody of your pet after a divorce is important to you, you may not want to leave the decision up to a judge. | Although many pet owners view pets as members of their family, nearly all states in the United States view pets as property.
