Interestingly, the couple agreed to share custody of the family dogs too. The two puppies, Posey and Buttercup, will be shuttled back and forth with the kids when they are with each parent. "Each Party shall be responsible for food while the dogs are in his/her care, and shall evenly divide the expense of routine care such as pet grooming and veterinary check-ups, and vaccines. The parties shall share the same custodial schedule with the dogs as they do with the children as set forth herein. The expenses delineated herein related to the dogs and any preapproved extraordinary expenses will first be paid from the community residuals as they are for the children," it reads.
