What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Delaware.
My wife & I separated on September 2, 2005. She moved out on September 25th. We've both decided there's no chance of reconciliation & only need to be separated six months in this state to file the initial divorce complaint.
We've agreed as to disposition of what little property we own, except for the engagement ring. I've read a thread that discusses that issue when an engagement is broken, but what would you think should happen in this case? The ring was originally given by my father to my mother in 1959 upon their engagement and the marriage lasted until my father's death in 1995. My mother gave me this ring to give to my wife, with the understanding that it would return to the family if our marriage didn't work out. After the marriage, my wife even mentioned the same intention to my sister-in-law (herself an attorney), but now refuses to return the ring. My intention is to return it to my mother, for her to give to the first of my nephews to become betrothed, as it's an heirloom.
Any ideas?
