During a divorce, where do you wear your wedding band?

I've been told a few different things, but I'm curious as to what etiquette is for wearing your wedding band during a divorce? Some say you should wear it on your left hand, some say your right, some say not at all. It's not like I'm out dating or nothing, but if there is an unspoken protocol, I'd like to know what's correct regarding the wedding band during (not after) a divorce preceding.

I would stop wearing one when the divorce has been filed. Put it away and save it for your daughter.

Not at all:-)

I wore it on my left but only because I didn't want it to end.
I would say not at all.

I say you don't wear it all... the symbolism behind the ring is not there anymore.

Its probably what ever you feel most comfortable with. For me, I would not wear the ring.

Don't wear it at all.

There is no rule, do as you like. If you still care about this person, then I am sure you still want to wear it on your wedding finger. But if the relationship is official debt whether the divorce is final or not, it would prolly help to not wear the ring so you can heal.

Good luck!

I've only heard of changing the hand you wear it on in the case of being widowed. I just wouldn't wear it at all after the marriage is over, officially or not.

and also...a pawn shop isn't going to give you a whole lot for it so I wouldn't even bother with that direction. It's a great place to go shopping for rings however...

dont wear it man you need to start at a clean slate and that begins when you dump the ring and the person.

honestly I don't think there really is protocol, written or unwritten, it's your ring, it's your finger - you do what is comfortable.

if the marriage is over in your heart , take it off now... your soon to be ex might think you aren't willing to let go.Unless you really aren't and they are.. then it's kind of humiliating to let them know you still care. Once the dissolution paperwork was filed, it was ok to remove it.

I dont think there is a specific outline as to what to do. In couples I've known where the split was angry and messy the woman usually removed hers as soon as she'd been legally separated if not earlier. One explained that she felt betrayed and that was enough to end her marriage in her mind. When I divorced it was more amicable and wore it nearly until the divorce was final. Its up to you and how you feel. If you still feel married, or are not completely transitioned then keep it on but if you're over it then dont - its completely up to you.

Wearing the wedding band during a divorce is up to the individual. There's no set rule. Do what's comfy for you & don't worry about what's proper. When I was going through my divorce, I kept my rings on until after the divorce.

most people during a seperation and divorce do not wear their wedding bands anymore, sad but its true.

Sell it. You are going to need the money anyway. Also, move on and the sooner the better.

I wouldn't wear it at all during the divorce but I don't know what Miss Manner's would say...

If you know for sure that you are going to divorce and there is zero probability of reconciliation you should not wear it at all.


Msdeb gee
WELL IF YOU WANTED TO DIVORCE THEN WEAR IT WERE YOU LIKE IT ARE NOT AT ALL BUT IF U DIDNT WANT THE DIVORCE WEAR IT ON YOUR MIDDLE FINGER TO SHOW HOW YOU FILL ABOUT THE DIVORCE

If your divorced bring it to the pawn shop you don't need it might as well get money for it.

You don't. You are no longer married in the sense of the word. I haven't worn mine since my husband left 2 years ago after 30 years of marriage. It just doesn't feel right to keep it on.
