From the way you write, I am guessing that you are a minor child living with your dad. If this be the case, you have no say, legally, in who gets the dogs, but you could be sure you let your dad know your wishes. Now here's the kicker, hon..... if you have really been a snit toward her,(and your letter suggests you have really been way below just aweful and she would just love to smack your $hitty little face and she really wants to get you back), she will request the dogs from your dad, and if he really doesn't want them, and feels you had a major hand in bombing his marriage, he may well give them away to her or to someone else. It's the old saying "what goes around comes around". So if you want those dogs, grow up, be kind to everyone, quit badmouthing and saying how happy you are that she is gone..... my moma always told me "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all". Maybe if you said too many un-nice things, she could really stick it to you....Get the point????? Bet you never thought about this, huh? Sweetie, it isn't always all about you, and at this juncture, it may not be about your wishes at all -- in fact, it may be a perfect time for either of them to be sure you just DON'T get your wishes. Hope not, but hey, truth.........

Whatever is bought during a marriage the law says that is divided equally. Since it is you that wants the animals file a suit with the parent that you are remaining with for them, because you know both will fight for them, one because he/she knows that the child wants them just to be mean to them. I am not sure how old you are but you can speak to the attorney of the parent you have and then speak to the judge by request. Explain the fighting both step and parent are doing over them, and the dogs are feeling the distress and you don't want the dogs seperated.

What will make it difficult for you is that you probably won't have much say in this, beyond letting BOTH parents know how you feel. The final choices will be theirs and may have to be hashed out between their attornies.
So, at this point, no one is going to be able to tell you who gets the dogs. You may get a lot of sympathy, and people telling you that you are right and SHOULD get what you want, but no one can actually tell you what will happen.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Hang in there.
If your parents don't have a prenuptial agreement, then your dad is entitled to half of everything. And your step mom is entitled to the other half. So in a case like this, you are going to have to assume, that you will get Jack and your stepsister will get Oreo.
Ask your dad. If they had a prenuptial agreement, then it will be a little different based upon what was said in it.

They should stay with who ever is getting the farm house. If this is sold in divorce agreements then it should go to the person who has better living arrangments for the dogs.

Contact the bar association in your area and see if they'll give you "free" legal advice as to how animals are categorized in your state. I do believe they are considered property like livestock. And I would also think that since there are two animals, that each person gets one if it's a 50/50 property split. Check with your local bar association though....

well there is shared custody, just like kids. You get the dogs for so long and they get the dogs for so long, then the dogs don't get seperated
