Details

A Practical Guide to Pets on Divorce for Family Lawyers offers family law practitioners a clear, practical guide to one of the fastest-growing and most emotionally charged issues in modern family practice: what happens to the family pet when a relationship breaks down? As pets are increasingly regarded as family members rather than mere property, disputes about their future care, ownership and welfare are becoming more common, and more complex.

In addition to examining the current domestic legal position, the book looks at emerging developments internationally and the growing recognition of pets within family justice systems abroad. These comparative perspectives provide valuable context for practitioners seeking to make creative and persuasive arguments on behalf of their clients.

This book provides practitioners with the legal framework, strategic guidance and practical tools needed to navigate these cases effectively and sensitively.

With a Foreword written by Sir Nicholas Mostyn.
