My bf's died a month ago. His mother after a month just came and toke our dog. What can I do?


Answers:
Call the police and report it stolen. It was joint property and thus, now yours. She in no way has a right to this dog.
Take the dog back. It is your dog.
You used the term "our" in your statement. If it was his before you met him, it would belong to his family. If you two got the dog together, then I would say you have all rights to the dog. If his family was involved with him getting the dog, I would agree that they have rights to the dog.

Here's the deal. Anything involving property, or money is considered civil. The only way to legally get the dog back is if you take them to small claims court. Filing fees vary state by state. Generally, they would run you from $50 to maybe $85 to file the claim. The judge will hear your case and then decide where the dog goes. If you win, you can even ask for the court fees back. Now, if the people who took the dog sells it, then you are completely out of luck.

You didn't give enough info on the situation.
it is your dog..go see the local police
As an attorney I agree with Squiggs. HOWEVER, to whom does the residence belong? Is it leased/rented and who is on the lease?

There is a reason I am asking such a question, besides knowing how the dog was acquired.
