A few months ago my girlfriend and I split up and she moved back home, taking with her a very expensive dog that I paid for when we first started dating. At the time of purchase she was not quite 18, and we did not live together, and we were never married. I have proof of payment in my name, but both of our names are on the papers for the dog and she still has him in her possession which prevents me from going to take him back. I have been told I have to do it legally, but I'm needing to know that there is no way I can lose the case due to the fact that she has him, her name is on the papers too, and she will say he was a gift. Are there any loopholes, or is it open and shut. Also, is there any way I can do this without incurring a lot of court costs?? I know she won't let him go without a fight, although I am sending a preliminary letter explaining my intentions. If anyone knows the laws pertaining to this and can advise, please do, only serious informed answers please. Thanks.
