| Is it ok to ask for your wedding ring back after divorce?
Posted: 7/17/2008 5:14:26 PM | I tried to burn my in the fireplace but the darn thing wouldn't melt....And get this some fiery letters appeared on the outside of the band...I couldn't read it it was some sort of elvish...But I know that when I wore it, it made me invisible to other women...Funny though when I took it off it seems like I'm still invisible.
To the OP....I never even thought about asking for it back...I should have asked for my set but I've bought bigger and better ones.
I pawned the ring she gave me, I don't remember what I spent the fifty bucks on, maybe a tattoo | |

Posted: 7/17/2008 6:32:58 PM | I'm no lawyer, but I think a wedding ring is not a "gift"...its a unifying symbol. In a divorce it should be counted as just one of the family assets in the divorce proceedings and either sold or allocated to one person or the other as if it were cash.
Or what if the ring were a priceless family hierloom from the groom's family? Clearly he should get it back. I can't think of any reason under the sun that woman should be allowed to just keep it for free. If she gets to keep it, then there should be a value placed on it which is taken out of the rest of the "goodies" that are up for grabs in the divorce. I think most women would not really want to keep it anyway for any reason other than spite or to collect the cash...so really....it should just be considered part of the family assets and negotiated appropriately....unless its a family hierloom in which case it should automatically go back to the groom no questions asked. | |

So, maybe she wants to take the diamonds out and put them in to something else. Her diamonds. You gave it to her. Your ring is your ring.

Posted: 7/18/2008 8:17:42 PM | | Tacky, tacky, tacky. I wear mine on my right hand. Just because the relatonship failed, doesn't mean they don't mean anything to you. One boyfriend I had who ripped me off, expected me to hock it and give him the money, like I'm not supposed to have any money, memories or anything at all in his wake. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 8:23:23 PM | | I can almost bet on it that she sold it...........No, it isn't ok to ask for it back, you gave it to her, it became hers and she should do with it what she likes in my opinion. My ex and I lived common law and got engaged for like a million years and never did marry and when we split, damn straight, I sold the ring. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 10:58:50 PM | | No it isn't! When u get married it becomes yours it is part of the package deal. Some people sell em and some people wear em. I like to wear mine cause they cost alot. I would not get the value so why sell em. Diamonds are a girls best friend! | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 11:07:26 PM | I can understand wanting an engagement ring back if she broke it off with you. I do not understand wanting back a wedding ring after a divorce. I am thinking it is about bitterness. Bitter that she left you and now bitter even more because she is dating someone new. You gave her a ring, I would think you bought it, and she gave you a ring, I would think she bought it. So is it a ring swap you mean as in each giving the rings back or you just want her's. Either or, it seems odd to me.

Posted: 7/18/2008 11:14:48 PM | Well, if my grandmother gave me a ring that has been in our family for over 100 years....i would think it should stay in our family. But that's just my feeling/opinion.
I can only add that i would never keep such a ring that someone gave me if the situation were reversed....i wouldn't feel right about it.
Whether it's my "right" to keep the ring or not, it's better to do the right thing sometimes.
Either way, i don't think this is what the OP is talking about. | |

Posted: 7/18/2008 11:28:31 PM | I never considered if it was okay or not. I never really cared if it was "okay".
My children and I had the ring made for my ex-husband, he rarely wore it so I told him, before he left, I wanted his wedding ring. When he actually took it off his key ring and handed it to me, I knew he was really leaving.
I had it sized and ware it on my left hand middle finger.... soooooo perfect! | |

Posted: 7/19/2008 2:17:18 AM | if you were just engaged and broke it off you have a right to have the ring back, especially if it had been a family hairloom. But a wedding ring.... get real mate!!!! Once you're married a lot of things you might consider yours have also become half hers but her rings are hers, just as your jewellery is yours. If you choose to continue wearing your ring or flush it down the loo, that's your business and it's none of your business if she is dating again and still wearing HER wedding ring. For some women their rings are sort of security. Kind of to keep other guys away or because they do not want to be seen now as a "single mother".
Whatever her reasons for wearing her ring or selling it or doing whatever with it, it's hers to with with as she pleases. You cannot ask for her wedding ring. I recon if you pushed her for her diamonds back she might go to a solicitor and push to have your car.
Divission of property is always difficult and painful when getting divorced but the wedding rings are personal items belonging to the one person, not jointly by the couple. | |

Posted: 8/9/2008 5:22:48 AM | That's an odd question.
Ask yourself what value will this ring bring me except a couple of bucks at a pawn shop?
If your seriously thinking of giving to the next lady, think again.... are you superstious?? bad luck once what are your chances on the next time around??
Forget about it my friend and just chalk it up as a bad investment and move on! | |

Posted: 8/18/2008 9:35:12 AM | Why do you even want the ring back? Just wondering if you are that broke. DOn't mean to be offensive. I mean, at a pawn shop you are going to get 1/4 or 1/5 of its value. How much can that be. Even on a $10,000 ring, you are going to be lucky to get $1000. Let it go. You will like yourself better in the end.

Posted: 8/18/2008 9:40:53 AM | | IMHO the only time getting a ring back is only during the engagement and all depending who ended it is whether or not it is given back or kept .... If you were engaged and she broke it off, yes I can see trying to get it back, However you were married and she ended it ... What is that saying, let sleeping dogs lie .... just let it be ... | |
