Pet Mediation at Well Hope
Pet Mediation
Yes, pet mediation is a thing! Many families have a very strong emotional bond with their pets. Loss of a pet after divorce or separation can be just as (or even more) devastating and traumatic as with other losses.
We get it because Well Hope Family Mediation Services mediators are pet owners too. There is nothing shameful or excessive about wanting a detailed care plan for your pets after separation or divorce.
Like other forms of family mediation, there are many tiny details to consider for your pet’s future. A mediator can help you and your former partner create a Pet Plan that will work for you and your family.
Unlike arrangements for children and finances after separation or divorce, it is not possible to make your proposals for pets legally binding. For this reason, we put extra care into these mediations so former partners can come up with a proposal for their pets that is detailed, practical, feasible and in the best interests of your pet and family.
Going to court for a family pet during separation or divorce is not logistically practical, financially feasible or recommended by the court.
You know your pet best. The sooner you and your former partner can agree on a future plans for your pet, the better it will be for your pet and your entire family.
Well Hope offers an all inclusive package for pet arrangements at an unbeatable rate. Enquire today to find out more.
