What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio, Lake County.
My wife and I separated for 8 months. She leased an apartment near where she worked. She was the sole name on the lease. My youngest son lived with her. She spent 8 months seeing a man she went to high School with. The man lived 65 miles away but was not working and therefore constantly at her apartment. The fellow bought her an apartment size washer and dryer, used for about $250.00 as a gift. He took her car for repairs to have her brake lines fixed without asking her he just had it done one day while she was working to surprise her. Now that the relationship is over he is demanding the washer and dryer be returned to him and wants restitution for the car repairs. My wife and I have reconcilled. She has since moved home. We brought the washer and dryer home with us as mine are broken. He wants to sue my wife for the car repairs and the cost of the washer and dryer. My feeling is that the items were given as gifts during their 8 months long relationship and possession, dispite him having reciepts, is 9/10th of the law. What do you think. Gifts or perks of the relationship. Should the money and the appliances be returned?
