I don't think you are asking the right question. To resolve your issue, it sounds like you can simply draft a relinquishment/transfer of sole ownership of the cat from him to you for whatever amount you can negotiate him down to. I think $450.00 in full and final settlement of all claims... View More

First of all, does she have possession of both dogs? If she does not have possession of the dog that she agreed would be yours, I don't see you have to take any affirmative legal action. Second, if you did both get the two dogs together, let her know that if you do have to sue, you can sue... View More

If he is willing to meet with you I'm not sure why you would need to sue him. That being said, I don't know the ins and outs of your past relationship. Will you be safe meeting with him? Do you believe he will bring your dog? Typically I recommend people ask the sheriff for a... View More

The animal control officer could have cited you instead because you were the one in control of the dog when he got loose. But since they didn't, they can't cite two people. You're probably the only person who can testify as to your side of the story so you'll probably need to... View More

You really should just ask for a continuance so you can talk to a lawyer, who will help you get the discovery in the case (the evidence against you). Without seeing the evidence, it's very hard to advise you. Then you should schedule an actual consultation with an attorney who does this on a... View More

You are not really giving much information. If you do not take the summons, they may be able to issue an arrest warrant, it really depends on the jurisdiction and the severity of the bite. I would contact an attorney with a lot of experience in Colorado with such matters, such as myself.

It may depend on what your lease says, but typically unannounced entry is limited to emergency situations and this certainly would not be one. I'm assuming your lease does not allow dogs, or limits them in some way? If so, you will need to be able to articulate why you need two service dogs... View More

I do not agree that suing for replevin is the way to go. Replevin is a suit to have your property returned to you. You have possession of the cat, so your boyfriend would need to sue you to get possession of his cat from you. I'd recommend trying to meditate the issue and have him... View More

You are not an attorney, only attorneys can represent people which is basically what you are wanting to do. So she probably can't share it with you.

You can sue your mother for replevin. Unfortunately that is exactly what I had to do for a client whose mother refused to return her dog to her. We were able to get the dog back.

This would depend on what your contract says and you would also need to have a veterinarian state that testing the puppy prior to selling it to you would have found the disease. Parvo is one of those diseases that has a certain incubation period, and testing during the incubation could give you a... View More

In my opinion, if you were to bring them to your local animal shelter and tell them the story, and that she basically has abandoned them to your care, you should be able to have them take them and they can contact her and give her 5 days to reclaim them. The bad thing about doing this is that cats... View More

You will either have to come to an agreement as to shared custody, or one of you can "buy" out the other, by offering to pay back what the other spent. If either party decides to sue for sole ownership, the court will order possession and ownership of the dog to one party and money to... View More

Just because you can sue, doesn't mean you should because of the costs involved. If you were out thousands of dollars, or your dogs died, then it would make more sense. Usually the manufacturer or the store will settle with you out of court. I'd recommend you try that first, as even... View More

I would suggest you contact the Colorado Veterinary Board on this question. While the AVMA state that microchipping is considered to be a medical procedure, the UK does not and just a cursory review showed that California does not consider it to be a medical procedure. Rescue staff regularly... View More

I would be extremely surprised if a judge ordered continued sharing of your dog because a partition action is an action to sever joint ownership, not to continue it into infinity. If he does sue you, he can either recover sole ownership of the dog or recover the money he put into buying and... View More

I think the real issue is whether it's legal for someone to put any type of dog repellent on YOUR property, and I would say absolutely not. You will want to get a surveillance camera to catch whomever is doing this in the act, and to have the substance tested to determine whether or not... View More

While you may technically have a case for conversion, all your neighbor would really have to say is that your dog was at large (even if he wasn't) and the weather was bad so she was being a good Samaritan by taking him in. She could claim ignorance regarding your ownership or even worse, she... View More

Under every ordinance I've seen, anyone who possesses or controls, keeps or harbors the dog is the owner for purposes of a criminal citation. However, if you and your husband were to split up, the dog would be his separate property. But these are two different issues. I'd recommend... View More

You do not have the correct information. The owner needs to contact an experienced animal attorney. If a person is suing him, that is civil court and no he cannot go to jail. If he has been criminally charged for the bite, he may or may not face jail time depending on the circumstances and what... View More
