They are talking about it now on KMJ. As I understand it, it doesn’t matter who breaks the engagement, the man can still get the property back because they were given in anticipation of marriage.

“As I understand it, it doesn’t matter who breaks the engagement, the man can still get the property back because they were given in anticipation of marriage.”

What recourse does she have for all the things she gave “in anticipation of marriage?”

Sorry.

“...the man can still get the property back because they were given in anticipation of marriage.”

That’s my understanding, and I think it is pretty well established. Who on earth would want to decide who REALLY dumped who?

And don’t forget, often people give family heirlooms for engagement rings, so it is not just the value of the ring itself.

But, my guess is she can probably keep the car.
