Ohio- Do I get to keep the engagement ring if the engagement was broken off and I paid for most of the payments?
It is a gift in anticipation of marriage. If there is no marriage, the ring should be returned. Once there is a marriage, it is no longer the property of the giver.Jeffrey2003 said:Isn't an engagement ring viewed as a gift? Meaning the receiver is the owner?
JETX said:Normally, the ring would belong to the groom, since it would normally be his purchase. However, since your post says that you paid (at least something) on the ring:
Who broke off the engagement?
How much was the ring?
How much did you pay on the ring?
As for my part of the payments, I wrote checks for each time the bill was paid...The ring cost about $1000...i paid for a little over half of it. The account that the ring was purchased on is in his name...but I made the payments for it while he was out of a job...for most of our relationship.VeronicaGia said:Do you have proof that you paid most of the payments? Whose name is on the account to which you are making payments?
If you want to keep the ring, you will have to pay for it in its entirety. If he wants it back, he will have to reimburse you for all payments you have made.
