The dogs are registered to me in my name. But if he helped to buy them does that have any bearing?

I would think that they would be a "gift" then and he shoudln't be entitled to them especialy if they are in your name.Then again what should be and what is never is right.I would get a free counsiltation with a lawyer.Are you in IL at all? I have a friend that I have known for a long time...was best friends with his sister.He is now a really good lawyer.

GSDSRULE,
Are you thinking of Shelley? If so this is totally different.
And yes, sorry to say the puppy was stillborn.

Well I don't know any lawyers there....never even been out that way.There has to be a lawyer that can give you a free consultation and steer you in the right way.

In USA you cannot knowingly sell something within a certain time period if you know a divorce is in progress.. Now before that , but the profits have to be shown..ha ha ha 10.00 is not a profit...hint hint....but you must show a bill of sale...and then you have to show it as income...ha ha ha.....]
Law is as deep as mud...and Attorneys and Judges can turn it upside down according to who pays who first !

My ex-2-b has darned near everything I ever owned, sitting on it till the final judgement is handed down, maybe years from now. I hope he chokes on it, and the roof falls in on top of him and it. Homeowners' insurance will replace my old stuff with new. The fact that they won't replace him I consider a bonus.
My dogs are mostly co-owned or bred by me prior to our marriage. X2b does not want to bump heads with any of the (strong, female, usually silent) co-owners. Chances are he would get a lot more than the back half of a dog for his investment in legal fees... They are also 3000 miles away from "the former marital residence." Not far enough in my book, but too far for him to come bother us easily.
Yes, Portia's pup was stillborn. This often happens with a single whelp litter. The whelp was normal size, just under a pound in weight, but well beyond resusitation at delivery. Did the trip x-country have anything to do with the still birth? Who knows? I doubt it. Portia handled the trip a lot better most dogs ever would. She was with me 24/7, slept next to T and I every night, never missed a meal and forever trying to play on our walks, as usual. Who the hell knew it would take 2 and a half weeks to make a 5 day trip??? There was a lot of doubt that she was even pregnant when we left!
The good news is my pretty-girl is recovering quickly and without issue. She got to watch Uncle Gary work young dogs in protection last night, which cheered her (and me) right up. She goes back into serious training as soon as she dries up a bit more, and will be entered for the SchH 1 as soon as she's fit enough to get over the hurdle and the scaling wall, then the FH1. Then we can try again, hopefully with better results.
Since I have a few more minutes between dogs, I shall address GSDrules NASTY accusations from a couple weeks ago when I was broke down far from here (or anywhere, really) concerned for my dogs, and unable to defend myself on this board for lack of internet access.
Notice this litter was never advertised, only mentioned in passing, (yes I regret mentioning it at all)
WHY??? Shelley always advertises her litters well in advance of the breeding.
Answer- This litter was never about money. It was bred and conceived specifically for myself and a few close friends who would only be satisfied with a Portia x T puppy, my gift to them for their love and support over the last couple of years.
I'm thinking 6 litters in 10 yrs, one other being a single-whelp litter, also GIVEN to a close friend-trainer, (Ali = gift to Steve Miller) does not make me a heartless puppy mill operator.
Think?
Anyone who thinks for one minute I don't love my dogs as much as they love theirs isn't paying attention. It would have been a lot easier to "get rid of" (I HATE THAT TERM) my little family, get a nice little apartment in a No Pets building with NOBODY expecting anything but the rent in exchange for shelter, and a couple of nice little brainless jobs, that kept me out most of the time, (no dogs to care for, remember?) and an economical little car to get me from one little job to the other and back to my little apartment...
I chose to KEEP my darling dogs, despite any and all hardship. I bought them premium dogfood when I ate day old bread and margarine. THEY never missed a meal. I missed plenty. (NO dog food was NOT included in my rent) What kind of shape could I be in financially if I had just done the normal thing, in a hurry and desparate, and dumped my dogs in some shelter or rescue, or given/quick-sold them to some unscrupulous puppy mill to be

bred and bred and bred till they couldn't make anybody any money anymore, and then... WHAT? I'll bet Steph could tell you what!
Could I have lived with myself then? Could I live with myself now?
Sure- Its easy to sit in your nice, comfy chair, in front of your keyboard, and judge others. Its easy to tell yourself YOU are SO smart, and SO wise, and SO well-prepared, and SO well-connected, that YOU would NEVER be in the situation I found myself in!
I used to think that way too...
Not anymore.
Maybe... just maybe... That's why I had to go through this crap. I do think I am a better, much more humble, empathetic person than I was before. Stronger? Hmmm. Not so sure.
Grateful for all the people who do NOT think that way? You bet!
Time to go out and brush dogs before the sun goes down. Boy- its great to be home!
