Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Dog custoday

I had rec'd a dog from my Ex-girlfriend as a gift, now that we've decide to seperate she is now asking for money for the dog, do I have to pay her for it? I have no proof that the dog was given as a gift except for my family and friends saying so. Should I pay her or is this worth looking into?

Hi:

This really depends on your proof, what proof your ex has and how much you care for the dog.

Good Luck

A gift is a gift and you do not have to pay her for the dog at this time. The worst scenario is that she takes you to court and you bring in your friends and family as witnesses to testify that the dog was given to you as a gift.
