Find answers to your legal question.





My disgusting, cheating, soon-to-be ex-husband came over and asked for the ring back...?

He told me he wants the ring back because he's still making payments on it. Well there is no way on God's green earth he's getting the ring, but I'd like to know anyway, what is proper etiquette in this situation?

An engagement ring is a conditional gift so if you had broken up prior to marriage, you would have to give it back (legally). But because you were married, you met the condition so it's yours to do with what you will.

And as far as the debt goes, he incurred that debt prior to marriage (I assume) so you shouldn't be on the hook for it either.

pawn that *****.

You get to keep it. It was given to you as a gift from him. Not only is that proper, that is legal.


Tek ~aka~Legs!
you're married..it's legally yours

you keep it. he cheated on you. you don't owe him anything. the ring actually acts as a contract between you. he broke the contract, you get to keep the ring (and anything else you can get from him).

It's yours, sell it and keep the money.

keep the ring..he cheated. If YOU decided to break the engagement/marriage then you should give it back...but if he F'ed up then he's SOL.

its up to you depending on what he did you can give it back or just keep it it was a gift anyway well its up to you good luck

Your still married, so keep the ring.

Proper ettiquette? Forget that!! The ring was a present- if you and your mom get in a fight, do you give her back the sweater she bought you for Christmas? NO. HE cheated, keep the ring and I support you (I'm sure others will too). Good for you!!!
P.S. tell him you don't care how long or how much he pays on the ring- he'll never see it again!

No court in the land would make you give it back, it was given as a gift.
So.....you'll be single soon, you hot?

its your ring, and he wants it for his new woman, don't give it to him, avoid this person he is showing who he is.


smileypuff2006
you got the ring as a gift from your husband, you don't have to return it and it won't stand in court. dont worry about it. enjoy your ring or sell it.


damaster
Don't give it to him, you own it. He gave it to you so why should you give it back.

proper etiquette is you tell him to go to hell! no I'm just kidding. Proper etiquette just tell him you understand his reason but this is something that needs to be settled with the divorce (with your mediator or judge).

TELL HIM THAT'S HIS PROBLEM.....it's a gift keep it or pawn it...

Nope you do not have to give it back. It was a gift to you and yours to keep or do what ever you want with it.

Who cares about ettiquitte?

Unless that ring was a family heirloom, there's no way I'd give it back. If it was an heirloom I'd give it to his mom, not to him, but it sounds like that's not the case.

Don't give that cheating b@stard anything of any value until you're ordered to by a judge.

Etiquette flew out the door when he took his pants down for some homerecker. I believe ...the ring was a gift. Sell it. that is what he plans to do with it. Do you think he plans to keep it as a symbol of your love? Trade it in for diamond earings.Consider it a parting gift.

well i dont exactly know the "proper" etiquette. but think of it this way.......he GAVE IT TO YOU! it is YOUR ring. you are making an excellent choice by not giving it back to him, especially if he cheated on you. do not give in and do not give it back to him. that is your ring, and thats not your fault if it wasnt paid for.


irenevmk
It's up to you, really, but you were his wife and he gave it to you so now it's yours to do with as you please, sell it and make money on it, take yourself shopping for some nice new clothes and a brand new man. It the engagement ring that you give back, but after you are married the ring, and hopefully a lot of alimony payments and his paychecks are yours. Hire a vicious lawyer and tell your idiot ex to take another job since you are about to take him to the cleaners.
Good luck

When you are married its your's to keep. If you were engaged its considered a gift and you have to return it.
