Custody battles over pets

For anyone who has gone through divorce, I've heard 99.9 percent of the time it's not pretty.

Figuring out who gets the house, cars, furniture - that's standard stuff. But how do you deal when a soon-to-be-ex-spouse wants custody of your baby?

And by baby, I mean your dog or cat.

My girl Sonya sent me this article about the trend of custody battles over Fido.

To someone who isn't an animal lover, this could all seem ridiculous. But like I've said before, nowadays, pets are like children to some owners...scratch that, pets ARE children to some owners.

What do y'all think? Have any of you been in this situation before? At the end of the day, who got the pet(s)?
