How do I legally get custody of a dog in the state of Texas? I left my fiance and would like to obtain custody of our dog. He's registered in both of our names, he paid for the purchase of the dog, but with him working off-shore for 28 days every month, he can't care for the dog. I've paid half of the cost of the purchase price of the dog, in vet visits, food, vitamins, medicine, toys, etc.
