Attorney-General Niki Sharma says amendments she introduced in legislature will clarify the law around pets, property and pensions for couples and families going through a separation or divorce

The important role pets play in families who are separating is being addressed in proposed amendments to British Columbia’s Family Law Act.

The changes would require the consideration of factors that include each person’s ability and willingness to care for a pet, the relationship a child has with the animal and the risk of family violence or threat of cruelty. Sharma says in the statement that dividing a family can be an incredibly difficult experience and the changes will help make that easier.
