Hi there-ANY and ALL advice and/or resources is appreciated.
Long story short:
- Lived with my former common law for 2.5 years (we were together for 4);
- When we broke up, I left him the house (which I do not own BUT I contributed towards the mortgage every month)-I also renovated the house;
- Left all furniture/contents in the house for his and his kid's use;
- Stated in writing that I left everything (per the above) and wanted nothing but the dog;
- Was set to move out of the country and bang-he disappeared with my dog.
The dog is registered with the city of Ottawa under MY name. My point is this-am I legally able to obtain him armed with the dog being registered in my name?
This is... incredibly painful. For someone who does not have or want children, this dog is MY kid. Seems silly, but there it is... As it stands, I know alot of people who have had this happen to them (seems to be a trend amongst people with no kids...), and as such, I wanted to have any kind of information and/or advice.
Thanks so much in advance for any help!
