Engagement ring as "conditional gift"

I believe that in North Carolina an Engagement Ring is a "conditional gift" and must be returned if the engagement is broken. Does woman have to return the ring to the man if he is found to be having intimate relationships with other women during the engagement.

Here is what you do... If asked and you want to keep it, tell him no. Only if it is worth more than 2k will most people seek legal advice..

Keep the ring safe.. DO NOT SELL IT. Wait to see what he does.. if you get a letter from his attorney.. write back stating that he was the one who broke the deal and it is his fault.

If you are then served papers to appear in court.. you have three choices..

1. Call as many attorneys in your area for legel advice.. see what they have to say on the matter. If they believe you to be right, fight it..

2. Give the ring back. No costs..

3. Answer the petition and appear in court on your own. You may have to pay his legal fees though.. however I do not think he would be awarded that since it is not a clear item of law.

Psst.. I am not an attorney, and even if I was, I would not tell you. Which technically could mean I am an attorney, but I would not tell you either way. What I am giving you is not legal advice in anyway. For proper legal advice, retain a person who openly admits they are an attorney.
