Divorce and Pets

According to a survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, in the United States there are about 74 million pet dogs in 43.5 million households, and 90.5 million cats in 37.7 million households. Based on those numbers, it isn’t hard to see how important pets are to their human companions. It is easy to imagine what can happen to those pets when a marriage ends in divorce.
