This is probably a stupid question, so I apologize. Mostly this is a question for people that have had multiple pets, and have had to divorce or break up. How did you decide who got what pets and did you let the other person still come see them?

 

Me and my wife have 6 cats. We are currently going through a divorce. She already had 4 before we were married and somehow we hooked on to 2 more after we were married. Anyway, my plans after our house is sold is to take 2 cats (which we already agreed upon) and move out of the area and possibly out of the state. My wife got wind of this and told me that there is no way she would let me take her cats where she couldn't see them. Well I don't really plan on ever wanting to see her again after the divorce, so I figured that we would say our good byes and that would be that. I mean, it's not like these are kids (even though I spoil them like they are) and I don't plan on having visitation rights set up or anything like that because I don't want her knowing where I'm living.

 

So is there anyone that was in a similar situation like me? What did you do and how did you handle everything afterwards?

Unfortunately there isn't alot you can do. I know when my mum and her partner split, he was being an ass and demanded visitation of their gorgeous little dog, just so he could keep in contact. She ended up giving the dog to him because she didnt want to see him ever again. Fair enough, seeing as he was abusive.

 

Fortunately that ******* died but unfortunately we don't know what happened to the dog :( Hopefully he went to his daughters.

 

Either way, if you don't want to see her and she is demanding to see them, she has the right. So you need to make the decision if they are worth you having to see her whenever she wants "visitation rights".
