Pet Ownership Dispute Resolution

Summary

In California, pets are considered personal property, and ownership disputes can be complex, especially across state lines. To resolve such disputes, gather documentation proving ownership, such as vet records and microchip registration. Consider sending a formal demand letter for the return of your pets. If necessary, file a claim in small claims court or an ex parte motion for urgent cases. For an ex parte motion, complete forms like Request for Order (FL-300), Temporary Emergency Orders (FL-305), and Declaration (MC-031), providing detailed information about the situation and urgency. Consult a local attorney in Nevada for interstate disputes and ensure all documentation supports your claim.
