My son 21 (who was special ed student through school) met a lady 29 (who has an IQ of 162 according to her father) he thought was the love of his life. After a few short weeks she persuaded him to buy her an engagement ring, which she acquired credit in his name at a local jewelry store over the internet. We feel she must have falsified information to get the credit he received since he has no credit and very little income. She took him to the store and purchased the most expensive ring she could.
Upon our first meeting with the lady, I asked numerous questions as most mothers would. One of which "Have you ever been married?" Her reply was only once to her high school sweetheart - We later learned she had a string of failed marriages - three that we are aware of.
My son broke off the engagement two weeks later due to her badgering and belittling him in front of others. He asked for the ring back, but she refused. He decided to take it as a lesson learned and started payments on the ring.
Now a month later, her father called stating she wants to return the ring, but is asking for payment of wedding expenses that she she had paid for. We agreed if she would supply the receipts, as well as the merchandise purchased and certification from the jewelry store of the diamonds. She refuses to supply any receipts or merchandise.
I have been told by many, including hearing talk show host, Dr. Laura, that an engagement ring is not a gift and is to be returned if the engagement is broken by either party. Does my son have any legal right to the ring?
