Custody battles can be ugly, especially over the one thing most important in our lives: our dogs. When a relationship ends, everything that was once “yours” as a couple needs to be divided up, including the pets. Sometimes it’s straightforward—if the dog likes you more, we say you get to keep it—but what if your ex still wants time with the dog? Can you split custody of a pet without it being a red flag for new partners? But most importantly, why do men have the audacity to think that they get to keep the dog when we’re the ones taking care of it? 💁🏻‍♀️
