Abstract
The object of the present work is to describe the elements that the lawyers must take into account when dealing with cases of marital crises and the role of companion animals in these. The progressive transformation of the family model has led to the appearance of new situations that are not legally regulated, one of which is how to proceed in cases of separation and divorce in which the spouses have shared pets. The lawyer's role in cases of marital crisis is one of the great questions of the practice of law today. Without developing a stricto sensu parenting plan, which is reserved exclusively for the treatment of the children of the marriage, these situations require a language similar to that used to regulate guardianship and custody relationships. However, it is undeniable that these situations require detailed attention, having to avoid problems and future contingencies that could affect the welfare of the spouses and animals.

Summary
La cambiante realidad social arroja a los abogados a la necesidad de adaptar su proceder a nuevas situaciones sociales. Son muchos aquellos que optan por compartir la guarda de un animal antes de proceder a tener hijos y, en consecuencia, el papel que ostenta dicho animal en el núcleo familiar es cuanto menos esencial. De entre todos los elementos que han de ser atendidos por el profesional destaca la necesidad de sensibilizar al ejercicio de la abogacía acerca del léxico utilizable en estas situaciones. El presente estudio es sólo una breve pincelada, una introducción que pretende mostrar al lector y al público la clara necesidad de abogar por nuevas regulaciones legales que se preocupen por el rol del animal en el ámbito familiar y que aseguren su bienestar, y el de sus cuidadores, cuando surgen situaciones que ya no pueden ser consideradas ni mucho menos como atípicas
