Heres the story tell me if I have any options to get possession of my dog.
My father acquired a dog as a "family" dog 4 years ago. I raised the animal my father basically neglected it. For the past year and a half I have paid all the dogs vet expenses and split the price of the dogs food with my grandfather (he has a dog they eat at the same time).
This past year there was an issue where my father assaulted me after I asked him to be careful falling all over the dog drunk. The incident led to me and my girlfriend moving halfway across the state (we move Aug 1st) and we would like to take the dog.
I can show that I have paid the vet bills.
That my father cannot have a dog of that size where he lives.
A police report that shows he was drunk and assaulted me (not particularly relevant).
What else would I need to win this case if I file in court? My father has owned 5 dogs since I have been alive and never been the caregiver for any of them past the first year.
