[quote=Anonymous]My STBX moved out and immediately rented a very expensive property. It’s beautiful and brand new and relatively close to our house, but it does not allow pets.

When he was looking for a place, there were similarly priced and less expensive places that did allow pets, but they weren’t brand new, which apparently was a dealbreaker.

Not my business, except he is now demanding 50% custody after being out of the kids’ life for months. My kids don’t want to go there but understand it’s required. However, they’re despondent about living half their lives without their pets. They’ve always grown up with their dogs and one of our dogs is a senior dog now. The cat is very attached to one of the kids and vice versa.

Has anyone found a way for their kids to go back and forth with beloved pets? I’m at the point of trying to negotiate DH leasing another place when this lease is up or demanding less custody so the kids don’t have to be away from their pets. I know pets aren’t children and it’s not really equivalent, but it feels like separating siblings from each other. [/quote]
