Q: My ex filed falsified statements in court to steal my dogs. How do I best have a chance to fight this?
I got these dogs for me to help combat my PTSD I received while serving in the military. I have proof of purchase for one and the other one was a Christmas gift which I have a witness statement letter and Facebook post to prove. I have the vet bills for both that I paid for as well (which she used by forging her name on them) but it’s really under my name and credit card.
A: If you have the ownership documents and something to prove the gift, then you can sue in replevin to get the dogs back. I’m unclear what you mean by the ex filed false documents in court, because I don’t know what documents and what kind of court (civil or criminal), so it’s kind of hard to answer this question.
