    Default Recovering a Dog After Divorce

    My mother and her ex husband bought a dog together. They got a divorce and my mom had the dog. Before it was finalized the dog was stolen out of our yard by her ex husband. He said that the dog saw him and ran to him which is impossible because she was in our fenced in back yard. We were under the influence the dog was dead because he said she ran away from his house. He actually gave it away before we went to prison. The lady he gave it to now says it is hers. I just want our dog back is there anything I can do.

    So the divorce judgment says "Mom gets the dog"? Or awards the dog to her as property in her possession at the time of divorce? Something else? How long ago was the divorce finalized?

    So her then-husband said "the dog ran to me, so I took it home"? He said that before the divorce was final? Are you telling us that your mother knew that her husband had the dog before the divorce was final, but chose not to try to recover the dog through the divorce court? So is it that her ex- got ownership of the dog through the eventual settlement?

    We were under the influence...
    Impression?

    ...the dog was dead because he said she ran away from his house.
    He said the dog ran away when, relative to the divorce. Why did he make that statement? Why would you interpret the statement "The dog ran away" as "The dog is dead"?

    You and your mother both went to prison? When and for how long?

    It may well be hers.

    You can start by giving us the relevant dates, and sharing the relevant provisions of the divorce decree.
