I have a question?? In your opinion do you believe that you are in your right to get the wedding ring back?? Now i know that most state laws consider the wedding ring a gift. so basicly your SH** out of luck. But i was just wondering what you all think. In my case...bought a expensive ring... 2 yrs later she divorces me and is with another man. Do i have a right to ask for the exchange of wedding rings?<BR>I just dont think it is fair that she should get to keep an expensive ring. And the way i look at it... laws or not...<BR>A gift is something you give expecting nothing in return.<BR>But a wedding/engagement ring is given with the understanding of beeing married and living the rest of you life with them.<BR>Im I a little off base on this??<BR><P>------------------<BR>Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

Hmmmm.....I think the ring is both....a gift AND a symbol of your commitment to each other. However, it is still a gift....<P>It can't hurt to ask for it back, can it? However, I don't think she <I>owes</I> it to you to give it back, just because she broke the vow. The ring was just a symbol of that vow, not the actual thing that sealed the deal, so to speak.<P>Just my opinion....<BR>Aloha,<BR>Mrs.O<BR><p>[This message has been edited by Mrs.O (edited July 26, 2001).]

She should be able to keep the ring. Somewhere you both probably caused some disconnects to result in the Divorce. Each of you are entitled to the rings that you received. I think it is something you will just have to accept. You can ask for it back, but my guess is you won't be able to get it back. I went through this with my husband and his attorney told him it wasn't worth trying to fight over. Chances are you will lose.<P>
