Qui garde le chien ? Divorcer au mieux is a practical French-language guide for people facing separation or divorce, with particular attention to the difficult everyday questions that often complicate the process. Centered on the symbolic and practical issue of custody and responsibility for a family pet, Emilie Devienne’s book approaches divorce as a legal, emotional, and organizational transition. It offers guidance on sorting out shared assets, communicating with a former partner, and making decisions that protect the well-being of children and animals. Written in accessible language, the work aims to help readers reduce conflict, anticipate disputes, and plan a separation that is as fair and manageable as possible. The title reflects the book’s broader purpose: turning a painful life change into a structured process rather than a source of prolonged misunderstanding.
