For the first time since recent changes to B.C. Family Law, a Supreme Court has awarded custody of a family pet in a divorce.
Under changes enacted to the law last year, pets are recognized as family members, not possessions and legal decisions on pet custody will now consider the well-being of the pet, including the care provided and any history of family violence.
