Q: Can someone give your dogs away, that they agreed to hold for you? The home is owned by both parties!
I currently live in Central Florida and due to extenuating circumstances, I had taken my dogs to Miami, where I owned a house with my soon to be ex. The verbal agreement was that as soon as the house sold and I could find a place to live I would pick the dogs. Well, he has sold the house refuses to give me my share and to top it off has given the dogs away. My granddaughter is heartbroken, as these were her dogs and were her emotional support, as she is going through a lot emotionally. Can he legally do this? Is there anything that I can do? Thank you, Mary
A:
Do you know who he gave the dogs to? If so, contact them and tell them they are your dogs and you want them back.
I suspect that this may relate to another question which I just answered here. I would be helpful if you could put all of the details in the same "question".
