When couples separate or divorce, the division of property, finances, and child custody often dominate the conversation. But for many people, a beloved pet is much more than property, it’s a member of the family. Rhode Island has now recognized that reality. As of mid-2024, the state legislature adopted R.I. Gen. Laws § 15-5-30, which specifically addresses custody of domestic companion animals in divorce or separation cases.

This new law marks an important shift: pets are no longer treated purely like inanimate belongings. Courts must now assess custody of animals under a “best interests” standard that focuses on the animal’s welfare. Below, we’ll break down what this law means, how it works, and what it means for families going through divorce in Rhode Island.

Learn how Rhode Island’s new pet custody law, R.I. Gen. Laws § 15-5-30, changes how courts handle pets in divorce. Discover what “best interests of the animal” means and how it affects custody, shared care, and your rights as a pet owner.
