Engagement ring


6 year together and 4 engagement she never wanted to talk about marriage.

She broke the “contract” and start dating someone else.

Year ago the appraisal papers disappeared and I think her Mom has them.

She had the ring off when out with friends and stopped wearing it all together a few months before the split up.
I think she will clam that she does not have it anywhere and is lost.

To me it had a propose not value.

What can I do?
where to file?

She broke off the engagement - she is obligated to return the ring. Depending on the value, file in small claims court. Hopefully you can establish it's quality (color, clarity, carat weights) so that you can show current value via an appraisal if she won't return it.

Have you actually demanded it back?

[blackwater]

Yes I asked a few times, she has even said she would. I would think she’d hand it over when she said it was over. Now it happened that way for others but have never giving a ring for a engagement.
I had appraisals for the ring with all of that listed and a price. Now about 2 years ago we had a fight and the papers disappeared. I pushed the issue but didn’t think of it after some time. I think I should be able to get copies from the place I got it.
So small clams, should I hold off for some other court issues clear up and I am able to look through my stuff that is slowing coming back. I cant go over there, my dad and brother-in-law and got some things were there is a lot missing. I don’t know why they didn’t look into my tool box when moving it but all my tools are gone! So should I hold off on that, till I see what is missing. Or go for the ring now?

Considering the circumstances of the "break up", you might want to reconsider suing her over the ring. With no proof that the ring even existed, it would be your word against hers, and right now, your credibility isn't that great.

I used to work in a diamond store - and we maintained records of ALL engagement ring purchases. Likely he can obtain a duplicate record.

Then she can easily argue that it was HE was the one at fault for the "break up" through cheating and acts of domestic violence.

One,I never had any "domestic violence", She even had said that when we went to court for other reasons. Another great piece of evidence I found when I went down to set up child support,is that she has filed a few times a year for the child support. And never went back to the appointment, state workers dont like her too much,LOL.And a court order from last year. And has told me and other people that she was going to keep the ring and had no plan to marry me. Trust me when i say I have a lot of ammo for this one and we even dig up more before I file. To me mareage was a big deal and to her she care. I stayed with her hoping that something would change, boy was I wrong. The only thing that ring means to her is the price tag that she can show off. Beside's she only wanted to be friends!!!

Also its is the meaning behind the ring and what meant to me to she her wearing it. Shoot she even took it off on the girls night out, which was a few times a week or it was on the other hand. Is there anyone one that wants a free ring, its not the ring in itself, its the meaning behind it! I’m a hopeless romantic what else!

[seniorjudge]

How long ago did all this stuff happen?

Did you have an insurance policy on the ring? If so, they would have a copy of the appraisal and probably photos of the ring as well.

[blackwater]

From the post above about the child support, ill clear it up. She had filed years ago and I would just think that it would show that she had no attention in marring me back then and would thing it would show it. Somewhat, don’t know but can try!?
Yes insurance but she got it under the home policy, my names not on the house. But my name and info are on the appraisal.

Also way we are on “small claims”. We got into the house together but at the time about 6-7 years ago it wouldn’t have been good for me to have my name on it. Now since then the act was that it was mine to. Back then I was in that blind love time and didn’t care if her name was going to be on things and not mine, we were together for life! Fawking right, retard ! Now I have put years into late night, weekend remodeling. From the basement up! All the years of building a life together, for me I was building it with my hands. The work I had done is not crappie, I know what I am doing when it comes to that. But I have gained nothing from all of that and its just lost for me. I have went know where in the past 7 years. I have gone right back to being a teenager living with my parents. Should I post this last part in another new post to see what I get for replies?

First thing you need to do is STEP AWAY FROM THE BEER (or whiskey or vodka or pot or what ever it is that you are partaking in that is causing you to write in such an incomprehensible manner). You can start a new thread if you like, however, without your name on the mortgage or the deed, you were nothing more than a tenant.

She didn't need to make you look like anything. I can't even comprehend what you did say or tried to say. The only thing that I could figure out is that you kept getting engaged to this person who you stated told you she only wanted to be your friend, yet you are upset that she never intended to get married.

If you are NOT high on something, then maybe you should have been.

You managed to do that all on your own, but thanks for trying to give me all the credit.
