This article ran in several Sunday papers in the United States, it was worth placing here to document the importance of pets within the family, and how when a union ends, a contentious battle can ensue over who gets custody of the pets.
The summary: Just like custody battles over children, things can get very nasty. Since pets are seen as property, a judge can award a pet to one of the spouses, or if it's unclear which one should receive custody, the pet can be shipped to the local humane society. Wow. That alone would make me try to forge a workable middle ground.
