Who keeps the ring?

Fax the attorney a copy of the email (just to nail the coffin shut on the matter) and keep the ring.

EDIT: Okay, so he's asking for it back. I would think that you still have a moral right to keep the ring, but do you really want it? Is it that important to you to keep it or would refusing to give it back make you look petty and vindictive? What if you agree to give back the ring in exchange for something of more practical value to you?

legally in most states you do he broke the "contract".

If you have the email, forward it to his lawyer, because if you have it in writing, Mr. wants-his-commission attorney is out of luck!

Give it to Frodo. It will be safe with Frodo...

Legally, the ring was a gift. That means it's YOURS. He may not have it back. Anything that was given to you as a gift can not be included in the divorce settlement.

You see, my husband thinks that he's being sneaky and smart by buying me things HE wants for himself for Christmas. Last year, he bought "me" a big flat screen... He knows I don't watch tv except for a few shows (like LOST).... so, that tv was a gift for me.... if we got divorced, the tv would legally be mine... muh hahahah!

you do. his attorney is wrong, don't give it up. any judge will side with you. it was a gift. to you. once given he no longer has any rights to it.

If he says you can keep the ring...keep it. Screw the attorney. They're all legal pimps anyway.

my first and only love

you keep the ring, tell the lawyer to go to hell.

since he decided he wants the divorce you can keep the ring.

whats custom is that if the man ends the relationship then the woman keeps the ring and that if the woman ends the relationship then its courteous to give the man the ring back.

and if he said you can keep the ring and you still have the email and you print out a hard copy then you get to keep it. you can show your attorney and his attorney the hard copy of the email.
if it's in writing then thats what people go by.

read your updates.
he gave it to you as a gift during marriage so you can keep it.
he did write down you can keep it though.

He bought you a new ring, and then filed for divorce? What the heck is wrong with him?

If you are married, the ring is not an engagement ring. It is a gift. Although unless you want to make a big deal out of it, you could just give it back. What the heck happened?

â™¥

you, it was a gift.

michellelm2

You were married you keep the ring.

YOU keep the ring. he 'gave' it to you...so it's yours. Full stop. If he wants to complain tell him to give you back all the food that you gave him.

Dew

you keep the ring,he gave it to you.Sorry about what he did to you.

dallas123

if your husband told you to keep the ring then keep. He woudn't have mentioned if he really did not want you to keep. The attorney is just trying to get more out of you. Sorry about the divorce.

Johnny A

ummmm...you do...

sweetboo

Give it back. Why do you need something that doesnt mean anything anymore. Just give it to him. There will be others who will give you a ring too. SO just give it up. I mean what are YOU going to do with it?

stargirl

He broke it off, so you should keep the ring. Also you can show his attorney the e-mail. Good luck and sorry about your divorse.

april s

you keep it and sell it at least u get sumthing out of the marriage

typical not me

If he wants the divorce and you have done no wrong then you keep it. If you cheated on him give it back.
It probably is not worth fighting over though. Unless you need to sell it for money. You could use it as a bargaining chip for other things you might want in this divorce.

Cute little penguin

i think you would, if you have a private agreement with your husband then it's none of the attorney's business.

He's prob just trying to get it for him/herself! lol!! ;P

free_angel

You keep it. Send the attorney a pic of it and call it good.

jk1967

Jocelyn

he told you to keep it. ignore his attorney. unless he tells you himself that he wants it back.

Rosessis

ask if it's for the next wife !! loll but really you keep it it was gifted to you to be his wife & you were. So thats what Judge Judy says anyway !!

I say keep the ring!

gala.hemal

But of course you Positively return him the Ring - the same way he asked it for - Through Email.

Email him the pic of the ring - he can have it.

pitchingcoach

It's your ring. Keep it.

Callie

If you were married and he gave it to you then YOU keep the ring. After you are married there is no longer an 'engagement ring'. Keep it and enjoy it! An attorney can ask for anything, but what you give is another story!
