Is a pet considered property in a Florida divorce? In short, yes, and the court will award the pet in accordance with the factors listed in Florida Statute Chp. 61.075 which also apply to other property such as vehicles, real estate, etc. What if the pet is an emotional support animal - how does this affect the court’s decision on who gets the pet? This was an issue in the case Kraushaar v. Kraushaar, 3D25-1706 (Fla. 3d DCA October 29, 2025).
