What is the name of your state? Michigan
My ex-fiance and I have been seperated for almost 6 months now. She had brought two dogs into our relationship from her previous relationship. They were gifts to her. In the 4 years we were together I took total control over the care for both of them since she worked so much. I have receipts and records that show I bought food, treats and vet care for them even while we were living together. When we broke up and she moved out she left both of the dogs with me. I have been their SOLE caregiver for almost 6 months now. Both are healthy and very happy with me, Recently, due to my indifference towards her "new" life she has started getting very vindictive towards me. This evening she told me she was aking the dogs to stay at her new boyfriends house, she doesnt even live there. She stated that I am basically in possesion of stolen property, even though she willfully left them with me, and regardless of my history of care for them, she has the papers, so they are hers. I know she is doing his out of spite because she knows how attached I am to them. I take them almost everywhere with me and provide a very good home that I can easily prove through witnesses. What are my rights of possesion regarding this issue and is there anything I can tell her to get her to just leave me alone and go on with her life...without the dogs?
