Introduction
Britain is known for being a nation of animal lovers but what happens when a relationship ends?
Statistics show that almost 50% of the population in the UK own a pet and it has been reported that one in four divorces involve a dispute over a pet, and the figure is likely to be similar in relation to co-habiting couples.
As a result, the Law Society have previously suggested that entering into a pet-nup might be beneficial.
This introductory level webinar is suitable for those who deal with divorce and separation.
