Rise in "pet nups"

Ben Fryer

Available for over a year

What happens to your pet if you and your partner separate? More couples are apparently signing up for "pet nups" - a legal agreement setting out who gets custody of the beloved pets if they split up. Some 3.2 million UK households reportedly got a pet during lockdown, so could we be seeing more of this type of legal agreement? Âé¶¹Éç Essex speaks to Karen Dovaston, chair of the Law Society's Family Law Committee and from Dovaston Law, based in Southend-on-Sea.
