In a New Jersey divorce, who gets custody of the dog? And who gets visitation?     Houseman v. Dare, November 1, 2010

FORT LEE BERGEN COUNTY NEW JERSEY DIVORCE LAWYER MEDIATOR

For now, the legal fight about Dexter the dog is over, but at least one "parent" isn't happy with a judge's custody decision. A New Jersey divorce judge ordered a former couple to share custody of Dexter, after the pair paid lawyers more than $40,000 in fees. The judge ruled that the dog must spend equal time with Doreen Houseman and Eric Dare. The case may set a precedent for courts to look past how much a pet cost, and instead consider the subjective value to the ex-spouses when making a determination.   Associated Press News Wire, September 17, 2009
