I cannot believe this...After the ultimatum, which I should have gotten in writing, Amy is now requesting joint custody of Rory. She has moved in with her mom, and wants Rory on weekends. It is obviously some kind of control thing, but still it pisses me off. We broke up because she said either Rory or her, and now I have no idea what to do. I don't want trouble. I told her no way, but she seems to think she has some kind of legal way to do this. She was living with me for a couple of years, and yes I guess she paid for some of his food along the way....Please help...

The whole ultimatum thing of suggesting you get rid of Rory was so he could go to Denmark and have his secretly desired sex change operation. Rory has realized he cannot compete against the many women you fantasize about so he feels his only chance to keep you to himself is to go 'female'. Amy was willing to help him achieve this dream but needed a way to get him away from you for several weeks during the transformation. When you called her bluff and chose Rory, she had to come up with something to get Rory away from you for awhile....Rory secretly desires to be a "Great Dame". Poor Rory :( Such a mixed up pup.
And Anita...Loved your answer too! LMAO

Was Rory your dog before Amy came along?If so tell her to get a life.
If you acquired Rory while you were with this girl who is he registered to?You alone or both of you?If it's just you she has no claim on him at all and again she needs to get a life.
Call her up and tell her that Rory is doing just fine without her company and you'll not allow him to visit since he was part of the reason you 2 broke up.Tell her that she can waste her money and everyones time but no judge will give her visitation.All she's doing is putting herself in your face so you'll notice and maybe want her again and you don't.She got what she wanted when she left and you have no interest in having her in your face or your life.She needs to get over it and move on with your and Rory's blessing.Tell her to have a good life and hang up.
And please rest assured that buying some food and paying a few vet bills along the way does in no way entitle anyone not listed as a registered owner of an animal the right to try such a pathetic attempt to continue to control someone.
Hang onto what you have in writing from her and dig out all your receipts.Also get a copy of the dogs registration and keep it handy.It came with his rabies tag.And ask vet for a copy of your vet bills.Your name should be on there somewhere as the owner and responsible party. Also,make sure she can't punish the dog to get back at you once she finds this ploy won't work.
Have a great care about the dogs surroundings.Don't put him outside unattended evan for a minute cos he may go missing.Check the yard for anything that does'nt belong there that he could eat or drink that will make him sick.Lock all your windows before you leave if they're accessable from the outside.And notify the police that you've just broken up with a nut and you'd appreciate it if they'd do a few extra drive bys during times you're regularly away from home in case she tries to pull something.They'll be happy too.

Were you married to Amy? Sounds like you were just living together, since you say you 'broke up'. So she bought some food... big fracking deal. Pay her the ten bucks and tell her to frack off and die!!
Legally, unless you all were married, or her name's on any registry papers, you can tell her no and there's not a thing she can do. Other than steal the dog from you and that isn't legal, but it could still happen.
Even if you were married, should she try to take it to court, I'm pretty sure the judge would laugh her out of the court house, down the steps and half way down the block.

It depends. I would consult a lawyer. But my guess would be no she can't get the dog from you because:
You had the dog before her?
You are not married?
The dog is registered in your name?
If you got the dog after you were together you might have a problem. Like I said above I would consult a lawyer, some states are working on or might have pet-custody laws in place.
Also, I wouldn't let her be alone with the dog. If the dog was the reason for the breakup and she knows you really care for the dog, I would be worried she might do something to harm Rory.

Either give her the dog on weekends, or let her take you to court for joint custody (she has to pay). But, if she left and you don't want her to see the dog, then don't open the door when she comes over. Oh, and stop communicating with her, except through lawyers.

ask yourself,why would she wants the dog,especially after telling you it's her or the dog!
now that she's gone she wants the dog,what's going on with her,was she jealous of the dog,were you giving more attention to the dog,maybe you should ask yourself,was the dog more important than what you may have really lost,maybe you should talk with your ex and ask her if it would be possible to share time with her and gradually bring the dog back into the picture, so when with her show her that she's more important.
and if that doesn't work ask her to take turns with the dog,but get it in writing and that she will pay half of the vet bills if any.
hopefully that helps, and if it doesn't again hopefully you will find a person who will accept you and your dog.

If you are the registered owner of Rory, there is nothing she can do. He is YOUR dog. However, if you are both listed on his registration, he belongs to BOTH of you. In this case, she may be able to get joint custody.

Buy her a little puppy (that is SOO adorable that she'd fall immediately in love with it) and there you go.
Not only would she stop bugging you about Rory but you would kinda be giving her a 'parting' gift which will leave you 2 in good terms. or no terms, whatever. (better than bad terms).

Send him this weekend, but before you do load him up on sugar and junk food. Rory will be extra hyper, probably will barf and maybe will even have diarrhea. It will probably be the last time she asks for the dog.
