What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas (but might happen in Ohio)
About 2-3 years ago. My brother told us to watch his dog, which we did, because he was lookin' for an apartment with his wife at the time. Over the time, we have bought the dog food, place to live, and everything else. Over the time, up to now. We have had that dog in our possession. He's said in the past that he wanted to get the dog, but he never has tried to be honest. Now, he is wanting the dog. He lives in Ohio now, while I live in Texas. He said, that he is going to take me to court about the custody of the dog. But, he has verbally promised me over at least 3-4 times, that I can have the dog, but he never has provided a contract showing proof, that he gave it to us.
He doesn't really want the dog. He is only doing this to hurt us, because we have fell in love with this dog, and grown too attached to the dog, and I don't want to lose him. My brother throws up, that he wants the dog, every time, my mum and him get into arguments and fights.
I'm just worry, that we will have to give up the dog, because of it being given to me in verbal speech. Will I have trouble in court with this, as it might be in Ohio, where I will have to go to court. If, I may lose it, is there a way to get all the money, that we have spend on this dog?
