For many couples, pets are family. Making decisions about them in a divorce is emotionally difficult. However, in Texas, your beloved pet is legally considered property, not a family member. This means courts can't create custody schedules or visitation rights for your furry friend, even if they feel like your child.
Since pets are treated as property, the court relies on financial and administrative records to decide who keeps them. To ensure your pet stays with you, be sure to provide a clear paper trail. ποΈπ
