I'm in the midst of the divorce process...

I have three dogs from the marriage, my ex moved into a place where she can't have pets and we can't realistically separate the dogs, two are brothers and have been together since birth and all three have bonded, they're a happy little pack.

So, I'm paying for the dogs, for food, and any vet bills, which included $1,000 a couple of months ago for surgery when one got injured.

This all out of my pocket, and it got me to wondering if my ex has any legal obligation to help pay for them since they were family pets.

I've asked my attorney about it but I'm still waiting on a response, so I'm curious if anybody else has dealt with this?
