It was not included as something he wanted back in the divorce pettition.
It was not included as something he wanted back in the divorce pettition. I did not know this but according to him it was purchaed by is friends who still has the receipt and he said the friend would sue me for it. Can this really happen?
thank you for the answers. sorry for the typos. shocked to know he didn’t buy it, doubly shocked to hear that I’ll be sued for them.

They should be yours. They were a gift and you can’t take gifts back. That is always what I have heard.
sue you on what grounds? The settlement is over it is yours
I doubt it, but why do you want to keep it? I never understood that.
Was it discussed during the divorce?
why would you want them, golddigger?
I don’t think so.
Anyone can sue anyone else for any reason. Doesn’t mean he’ll win, but he can sue you.
Unlikely. The law usually treats wedding/engagement rings as gifts.
Anyone can sue anyone now; odds are he won’t win unless there are some really weird circumstances
I seriously doubt it.
No he can’t. Those are considered yours. I think there is a law regarding that.
not at all. bc u did get married n thats what they give it to u for. so no he is not able to recop it. they can only get it back if u are engaged n dont go thru with the wedding
I don’t think gifts can be taken back.
Now that you are married, it is communal property subject to division!
if he didn’t list it, then i doubt he’ll get it back, but he can sue you for anything. just give it back. why would you want it?
Nope…………… Well he can sue, but he will lose.
Added:
Then the friend is going to be really pissed. The only way his friend can re-coupe the money is if he sues your ex. His friend bought the rings and gave them to him as a gift – knowing he was going to give them to you, so he had no expectation of getting them back, and then your husband gave them to you. So he still has the receipt, he can use that as toilet paper, because it’s not going to help him get anything from you. It’s a bunch of nonsense.
The rings are seen as gifts. Unless there was deception involved ( you acted like you weren’t already married, you are a man, you are a wanted fugitive, you aren’t a legal resident) he can’t get them back .
No he can’t. He should have asked for it in the decree. Too late now.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
its classified as a gift. no fast talking lawyer can get that from you judges all agree the wedding ring is not a part of a divorce settlement ..it is unequivocally a GIFT. not loaned or shared property.
(unless u agreed to give it back in a prenup or somthing)
I believe so, there is no longer a commitment. The rings stood for something that is no longer there.
No it was originally a gift. and if it wasn’t stated in the divorce decreehe has no legal right to ask for it back It should be yours to keep. but check with your local legal aid office for your states law
The ring(s) were given to you as a gift. They are not his property nor joint property. Because the marriage took place they belong to you. If he wanted them back he shouldve asked for them in the beginning and even then he wouldnt have won. So he can sue you but he will be wasting his time and money!!! So dont worry…your rings are safe.
No. Once you got married those rings became yours. If you were only engaged and the engagement was broken off he could sue you for the engagment ring back.
how about you sell it and split the profits. it solves both your problems. and with minimal arguing and court costs.
In this country our constitution gives everyone to sue anyone over anything anytime in a court of law. So yes he can sue but theres no guarantee that he will win in court if he does
No, engagement and wedding rings are considered a gift.
What a loser he should pay back the friend not you. The agreement was between them. And did you get the husbands ring back?
Don’t worry babe if he does just come my way and I’ll get you better ones hehe. All kidding aside though i really don’t think he can.I mean once you are given those rings they become your possessions.I guess technically in a "split everything 50/50" case maybe he could force you to sell them and split the money but then you could start doing the same to some of his possessions that he wasn’t planning on going 50/50 on.With all that said i highly doubt he will try that but if he does then mention some of the things he owns that might have sentimental value to him and start hinting you might want half of those things and i bet he’d drop the ring issue real quick.
He can sue but he will not get them back. The engagement ring is a promise to marry (which is a contract), which you did and the wedding ring is a gift and he cannot take back his gifts. So enjoy your ring.
tell him you no longer have them, you sold them… not much they can do to you, they were giving to you as a gift, its not illegal to sell or give away a gift… he can’t get back something if you don’t have it anymore.
The rings are your personal property, given as gifts. He has no rights to them. However, if they were treasured family heirlooms, such as his grandmother’s wedding ring or something, you should give them back out of decency. If not, keep them or sell them if you want.
I think that is pathetic on his part. He can try to sue you but I will bet that he will appear very petty to a judge and it may backfire. Good luck to you and good-riddens!
Can he sue you? Heck YES! Will he win? Heck NO! It is way too late after the fact. They can’t be gone after now, as he did not pursue them at the divorce hearing. (If you "lost" them he’d be out-a-luck!) If he had given them to you prior to marriage and you did not marry him, then yes they would be his. But,it is exceedingly doubtful he would be awarded them back now, as you obviously went through the wedding process.
It depends on the state you live in actually. Under New York law for example, the ring is yours if you’re married and it would be his if you were just engaged.
An engagement ring is considered a gift that cannot be taken back. I’m sure the wedding ring will be the same situation.
No, he is not entitled to the ring back, it was given in lieu of a promise of marriage, which it was fullfilled.
He has no legal ground to ask for it back unless specified on a pre-nup.
Good luck
No he cannot. The engagement ring became yours upon your performance of the contract ie, marrying him.
The wedding ring was a gift and thus, given unconditionally. You cannot get a "gift" back.
He will lose. Doesn’t matter that his friend bought it, it was given to you. It should have been brought up at the divorce decree that he owed his friend for the ring.
He owes his friend, not you.
he didn’t buy them what a cheep @$$ if he didn’t then they could be classified as a gift so he may not be able to get them back. or you can always pawn them?? lol teach him to get a friend to buy them how cheep sorry girl that’s bad
I have never heard of it happening, take it to the pawn shop if you don’t really want it, at least that way he surely won’t get it.
