The custody battle for their furry family member dog Hurley in the divorce of Ant McPartlin and his wife Lisa Armstrong!
- Divorce is always complicated and heart-breaking
- There is finance involved and if the separated couple has children then there is a custody battle for the children
The latest in celebrity breakups is the custody battle for the pets that the couple owned when they were together and now each of them wants to take the primary custody of the furry pet.
This could complicate matters. The same seems to be the situation in the divorce of Lisa Armstrong from her Ant McPartlin.
The divorce of Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong
Ant McPartlin and Lisa are divorcing and the divorce is indeed a messy one. It is learned that the couple is fighting over the custody of their dog Hurley and he is now the major reason for contention.
His lovely labrador, who is now 5, helped Ant McPartlin in overcoming his drinking problem and drug addiction.
Ant has hired the not-so-popular lawyer Nick Freeman, also known as Mr. Loophole, to secure custody of his pooch.
We have reached an agreement on splitting the other assets. But it is the dog over which they are fighting now.
