Comments on: Does Washington State Have Pet Custody Laws? https://www.goldbergjones-wa.com/divorce/pet-custody-washington-state/ Mon, 25 Nov 2024 17:19:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 By: Scott https://www.goldbergjones-wa.com/divorce/pet-custody-washington-state/#comment-8354 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:58:58 +0000 https://www.goldbergjones-wa.com/?p=5750#comment-8354 So the custody of a pet is more similar to an iPad than a child, that’s easy to understand. But regardless of whether or not they are property, would shared custody still be enforceable by the court the same way it can be in regards to children?

To put it another way, if my ex and I each get the kids every month, if one of us refuses to take the kids to the others’ house, the law can now intervene and enforce the custody agreement. If my ex refuses to give up a pet that was supposed to be exchanged every month, can my divorce settlement provide the same protections to ensure I have access to my pet as it can for my children?
