He has spent $66,000 trying to get his dog back, and to this date, no luck.
If they had has an agreement in writing, it would had been much easier to him to recoup his losses, the anchorperson said.
No - but if he had the dog micro-chipped with his information, and a file that had copies of all of the vet bills he had paid for as well as dog food and related items: combined with a legal system in the state that she took the dog to that respected property rights (since an animal is technically property), then he would be back home with his dog at the dog park meeting new women right now.

One of my friends got one with her live in boyfriend. It's basically just a lease agreement. And yes it has made things really awkward as well as protecting them. They're going to break up at any moment.
Does he have proof that he bought the dog outright? If so I'd skip the court and have her arrested for grand theft or kidnapping.
Uhm, no, dogs do not have any street value so it wouldn't be grand theft. However, for about $300 he could have had someone steal it back for him, so I really question this amount being strictly for the dog. At most a pure bred stud dog is worth about $5,000. In fact, if your dog gets loose and is hit by a car, depending on the city you live in YOU get a ticket not the driver.
Unless we're talking about a few $million, if you can't trust the partner enough to marry/cohabit without a written agreement, one of you is the wrong partner. Go into these relationships giving your all or don't go into them at all.

Agreed. I wouldn't cohabitate outside of marriage anyway though.
I misread the OP. I thought this was strictly about buying a place together - not just living together. I don't think you need any written agreement to just live together - but if you are buying a place together and aren't married - it might be wise. I lived with my husband before we were married and never thought twice about it - but we didn't BUY a place together until after we were married.

Damn straight right about that. I wouldn't even share a cell phone plan until then.
what I'm saying is cohabitants' agreement is like saying I want to swim but I don't want to go into the water.
Yes, a prenup and a marriage does sound more involved, God forbid, I know. Saying it's "even more involved" sounds like a person that wants to swim but doesn't want to go into the water. So in closing, I'm not into pretending I have a marriage or something resembling one (but we're calling it something else). Either I have one or I don't.
Great post. Too many people pretending. Not enough jumping in the water.
