Divorce is always complicated and heart-breaking
There is finance involved and if the separating 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.

Ant McPartlin believes that his lovely labrador who is now 5 had assisted him in overcoming his drinking problem and drug addiction.

In order to ensure that he gets the custody of his pooch, Ant has now hired the not-so-popular lawyer Nick Freeman who is also called Mr. Loophole.

The other assets have been split and an agreement on it has been reached. But it is the dog over which they are fighting now.
