Re: Estate Law
Yes, she can try to take the dog from you as what you are indicating in the facts stated is that the dog was purchased together, meaning that the dog was half hers. If you want to keep the dog, keep it and appear for any hearing arguing your case. You do not have to turn over the dog absent a court order since the dog is 1/2 yours.
