This is My Puppy King Louie...Could You Leave Him Behind? What Do I Do?  

Don't give up on keeping your little King Louie, he is too cute. The courts aren't stupid when it comes to A$$holes husbands neither. I hope it all works out for you and you get what you deserve, I hope he gets what he deserves too. Say your prayers and keep the faith, its all going to work out for the best. {{hugz}}

I would definitely take him, as he took everything else. You are more lenient than I would be, especially finding out about another woman. I would take him for what I could get and then I would not have to worry about things. He put you in this situation.

Oh my gosh Im so sorry that you have to go through all of that, you should definitely ask the courts and your lawyers, i don't know what state you live in but here in california you are entitled to half of everything he makes, you are a wonderful person for loving your dog and when you talk to the lawyer i would definitely point out what your ex would do with the dog, you should fight tooth and nail to keep the dog, if you can't keep the dog yourself until you find a place you can afford then maybe you can ask one of your family members to take him in just temporarily? and i have to say shame on your ex for being so heartless

King Louie is adorable, and there is no way I could leave him behind - I don't think you will, or Lollipop. They belong with you Dawn. I lost one of my dogs 3 weeks ago and still feel empty without her here with me, even though I have my other dog. You are going to need King Louie and Lollipop more than you will ever know, to get you through this.
Let your lawyer take your husband for as much as possible because you are entitled to it. Your husband has put you in this position so let him pay for it.
I'm not a vindictive person either - you are only getting what is rightfully yours.
I will be praying for you that you come out on top of all this mess. Stay strong and positive. Hugs xx

Fight for half of what he has. Don't be a martyr. My sister-in-law did that. Had to raise her boys on her own. My daughter took paralegal but wasn't able to get a job very easy. Decided she didn't like it anyway and is now working as a teacher's aide.

First off, I'd be yelling at my lawyer if I were you, as it does not seem like he is doing his best for you if the hubby is getting everything
If you truly wish to keep the puppy then the only option I see for you is the move to a different town. Unless you could somehow leave the dog temporarily with family members. Giving up a pet like yours would be a traumatic experience for you so I do hope you can find a way to keep it.

What I can tell you is that, I will pray for you. I think that you should be able to keep the puppy. I think you should rely God. Do not fret about this. Pray with all your heart. Serve God to the best of your ability and not give up. Do your best. Pray for your situation. Ask God to take care of it and I know it won't be easy but it will be possible. Just let God take care of it. Do not take it out of his hands please, when you put it in his hands.

Ask the judge for custody of the dog. If he really works all the time how does he have proper time for it. If it is a puppy consistency is important if you have been the primary caretaker of the dog. Add it to the divorce papers..that you want custody of the dog. That's all you need to do, and argue that it is in the best interests of the dog to be with the person that cares for it the most. If you have to give up some alimony, oh well..he will still have to pay if the laws work the same there as most places. Anyway, file for custody of the dog..ask your lawyer about that :)

That dog is absolutely adorable. I say do whatever you have to to keep him. Talk to your lawyer and see what he says. The worst he can do is say that the judge won't go for it, which would be unfortunate. Like you said, you're not asking for much. Just a little extra monetary help so you can keep the dog. Personally, I think your ex deserves a worse fate than that, like having a dog pee in his Wheaties or something. Sorry! Couldn't help throwing that in there. No, really. I've got 4 dogs of my own, 3 of which were rescues. I've developed a love and appreciation of animals that I didn't have before. Do everything you can to keep that little guy. I wish you all the luck.

I know a lot of people are having custody battles over their pets when they get divorced. They are like a member of the family, so it's a tough thing to do. I wish you the best!
