Thread: Any of u guys a lawyer? Lol

Start by trying to talk your way into getting the dog back. Bring in a mutual moderator that can hear both sides of the story. Ideally, you'll want someone who can be persuaded to agree with you, but not an out and out advocate, so don't bring a brother or best friend or something. That can make it worse. If she doesn't concede, start collecting vet bills, food receipts, and anything else that shows that the dog was primarily yours. File this information away and don't show your hand. Once you have all of that together, you can A- seek an attorney's advice (expensive) or B- Send her a certified letter explaining that the dog is yours, you have proof of care, and you are willing to escalate the situation. If she thinks you mean business, you may be able to bluff your way into getting the dog back without spending a boatload. If she isn't emotionally invested in the dog and she lacks the funding to fight the battle, you will probably get it back. It just won't be worth it to her, but you're going to need to paint that picture for her.

This is not the time to be vindictive, like trotting out a new girlfriend or seeking some type of revenge. Doing things like that is stupid, petty, and makes you look like a jerk. It is time to go scorched earth, however. Know that an angry ex can and will do things that you never thought she was capable of doing and you probably can't talk your way out of most of it. Cancel any joint accounts and set up your own. Set up a brand new email account that she can't possibly hack. Ideally, set up two new accounts and use one as your primary form of communication with her. Block her from all social media. Schedule times to talk and don't answer her calls after a reasonable hour. Focus on the nuts and bolts of ending the relationship. Beyond that, focus on yourself and have a good time. She'll send scouts to find out how you're doing. Make sure the only thing that they can report is you're moving on.

Dude------ Your are screwed.

Does not sound like the ol lady wants the dog. She has it for leverage. Give her what she wants and get the dog back. If she left u like that, she will leave the dog like that. Some folks just don't have a heart.

good luck to you sir I couldn't imagine somebody taking my dog it wouldn't be pretty

bird down hit the nail on the head. Ignore her and she will bring the dog back herself and may even want to come back herself!I ain't no marriage counselor.
