What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IL
Insurance company paid out a claim of loss jewelry as well as other jewelry that was never claimed. Ex wife filed a claim and executed the Sworn statement proof of loss. After denying the claim the insurance company honored it after my ex called to question it. They paid out 22k more than the claim should have been..
Ex Wife was supposed to give me half, she wrote me a check that bounced. She applied part of the money that was supposed to come to me to a IRS balance that I already took responsibility for in the decree followed by the remaining balance.
After realizing of this mistake I confirmed with the insurance company that they indeed paid out on another piece of jewelry that was not claimed. Fast forward to now...
They are claiming breech of contract by my wife as well as unjust enrichment to me. Being that I had nothing to do with this claim and also I never actually received the monies is this something I can defend. I understand the basis for unjust enrichment but should that apply to me after my ex wife orchestrated this entire process?
