These pet parents are taking their divorce to a whole new level.
Hallmark movie stars Shantel VanSanten and Victor Webster recently finalized their April 2023 divorce, and their settlement includes something not often seen: late fees for pet custody.
According to the court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Victor will have custody of their dog Nova, but the One Tree Hill alum will have visitation rights. And if Shantel has Nova for an extended period of time, she is required to send her ex updates about the pup’s location. Additionally, if she takes Nova for longer than three weeks, she must pay Victor $10,000 for every day that the dog is not returned.
The documents also noted that the couple’s cats, Finnegan and Phillippa, are in the custody of Victor’s brother Vince Webster. As for their finances, neither will receive spousal support but Shantel will pay $25,000 to equalize the split of their Los Angeles home.
