Legal Help...PLEASE!!!
 
So my girlfriend decided to kick me out of the house and break up with me at 2am on friday night.....i've dealt with it and moved on....

Now she is withholding my property and most importantly my 4 month old bulldog puppy.
I paid every penny of that $1800 and she did not put in a single cent.....
And here is the kicker, today she went behind my back and got the puppy registered in her name, techincally making her the owner.....


WTF do i do!!!

I know i can call the cops and they will escort me to the house to get my property, but with the dog they will take one look at the licence, printed today, and say its not mine

Do you not have receipts for purchasing the dog from the breeder?

If you paid $1800 for a puppy, I sure hope you got a reciept or at least some kind of record of purchase (credit/debit card slip). You might have a good chance to prove that you purchased the puppy b/c this bill would be dated BEFORE she registered it.

However, my suggestion is to call a lawyer tomorrow and explore what you can do. That's your best move for something like this. If worse comes to worse, you can take her to small claims court to get your stuff back. If you win you might also be able to make her pay your legal fees.

Best of Luck!

EDIT: I guess Brad beat me to it. :)

Oh yah there is a receipt, i mean i paid cash and the breeder knows I paid for it myself....

Im gonna try once more to reason with her, if that is possible, and if not explore the lawyer aspect.

Reasoning with a woman that just kicked you out might not be the first thing to try...:)

Go to the breeder, get a letter confirming you bought and paid for the pup, provide it as proof to the police when you go get your stuff with them.
You will likely need to go to court to get the registration changed over, unless she signs the papers over to you, which sounds not likely.

If you paid the $1800.00 for the dog its yours, like Brad said go to the breeder and get a conformation letter that you purchased it. Sucks that it would have to go to court (If you have to) but if that's how shes going to play then its going to suck even more for her when the judge awards the dog to you. Good luck Kenny, hope you get your puppy back!

Sorry to hear about all this. I'm also sorry to say that if you two were common law (which it sounds like you were) the dog is half hers even if you paid the whole bill. I'm 99% sure about this. Everything the two of you own should really be divided up. I'm sure you both can reach an agreement about who should get what. Seek some legal advice for sure though.

Good luck.

That really sucks hope she calms down and gives the puppy back sounds like she is
pretty sour about something. Did she like the puppy that much? Or is it out of spite?

If you were together long enough to be common-law might be more than just half the puppy (car, her credit card and other debts, pensions, CPP, etc).
