Who takes the pets when people divorce? A recent court case out of Fort McMurray featuring four pet cats tried to answer this exact question. The pets were split up with two going to each of the owners after a judge ruled that pets are considered property in Alberta. Melissa Bourgeois is a family lawyer at One Family Law.
