Arizona SB1587 allows divorcing couples to make enforceable agreements on companion animal possession and care.

Arizona SB1587 amends the state's dissolution of marriage laws to include enforceable agreements on companion animal possession and care. Couples can specify periods of possession and financial responsibilities. Courts must consider factors like the animal's acquisition timing, its role in a minor's custody, and the parties' care and financial capabilities. A rebuttable presumption favors the animal's custody to the party with a minor in their care.
