Pet costs

[Janus]

Technically, the pet is an asset, so the person who gets the pet owes half of the current resale value of the pet to the other party during equalization.

I imagine that claiming that value would ratchet up tensions considerably.

No. Family law does not address pets in any way. The petson with the pet is 100% responsible for the cost. Completely ignore the request.

Should they wish to pursue it, politely ask them to provide information where it specifically references this in relation to the Family Law Act.

I am not sure if someone asked this before. After divorce , the pet costs need to be split even if one party has decided to take the pet with them?
The ex is now trying to include this as part of the Settlement .
Advices are appreciated.
Thanks
