What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
Can I file a civil suit for-
Leaving my husband, when I was moving out he grabbed my dog by the collar and claimed marital property. (we have 3 dogs and I had been kicked out of the house before, the dog went with me because she was mine prior to marriage, a gift from what was then, my future husband and I can prove all of this!)
My husband is a tow truck driver and works for our local police. When I called the cops, one of his buddies and a new cop showed up. I had all my paperwork proving she was mine prior to marriage, all of her registration, etc. They ended up making me leave her and giving her to my soon-to-be-ex. Claiming that they went off my physical address when the dog was purchased.
I am currently filing for divorce and temporary relief of my dog. I go to court next Thursday to get her back. I have vet records, the breeder offered to speak the truth, all of her registration, etc. My dog was even registered to my OTHER address when my husband had kicked me out.
Anyhow, I believe there was misconduct in the decision, knowing the police and my husband are best buddies. I have been a total wreck, no sleep, stress, missed work twice.. I know people think she is "just a dog" ... but not to me. I feel as though the police whispers weren't in my favor due the prior relationship with my husband.
Once I get her back, can I sue for emotional distress and negligence? I have been to the doctor multiple times for my anxiety and panic attacks.
This was WRONG!
Please advise?
