Format: WEBINAR
Description:
Join the Honorable Matthew Cooper and Ms. Debra Hamilton in an insightful exploration of the intersection between pets and divorce. This CLE will delve into the historical trajectory of case law culminating in the pivotal Domestic Relations Law changes in 2021 mandating judges to utilize the Best Interest standard in determining the fate of family pets amidst divorce proceedings. The discussion will revolve around the practical application of the legislation. How are judges implementing the Best Interest standard in practice? The conversation will address the nuanced concept of defining Best Interest and the broader implications thereof. Judge Cooper will offer valuable insights, reflecting upon the case of Travis v. Murray. Complementing this legal perspective, Ms. Hamilton will present innovative approaches to facilitate resolution in contentious pet-related conflicts. She will advocate for the integration of mediation as a constructive tool for disputing parties to collaboratively discern the optimal Best Interests for their beloved pets. Don’t miss this compelling discussion at the intersection of law, compassion, and pet welfare, as Judge Cooper and Ms. Hamilton illuminate the path towards equitable resolutions in the challenging realm of pets and divorce.
