One Tree Hill alum Shantel VanSanten and Hallmark star Victor Webster’s finalized divorce includes a pet custody arrangement with eye-watering late fees.
The former couple — who split after just 20 months of marriage and a whopping three wedding ceremonies — reached a settlement in mediation that included a visitation plan for their dog Nova, per TMZ.
Court documents revealed Victor will have custody of Nova, but Shantel will enjoy extended visitation periods with the four-legged friend.
However, Shantel is obligated to keep Victor informed about Nova’s whereabouts, ensuring regular updates and communication regarding their pet’s well-being.
If Shantel fails to return Nova for a period exceeding three weeks, she will be required to pay her ex $10,000 for each additional day the dog is not returned.

She explained to Brides: ‘When my grandfather unexpectedly passed away on Father’s Day, the heartbreak was unbearable; I had been planning on him walking me down the aisle in Minnesota.
‘In the midst of my grief, I looked at Victor and said I wanted to do a spontaneous civil ceremony on my grandparents’ wedding date, August 9.
‘The idea of my grandparents being reunited and watching over our ceremony from above gave me some peace.
‘They were married for 63 years had such a special, deep love. They were the example to me of how love is a choice and takes work. It wasn’t perfect, but their love was always pure’
As if that already wasn’t enough the couple were joined by 48 friends and family for a ceremony in wine country Napa, California.

‘The leaves on the trees were vibrant fall colors, so I wanted to play with those tones and let nature inspire the colors: dusty rose, mauve, blush, burgundy, beige, tan, caramel, and toffee.’
