Legal Question in Family Law in California
wedding rings
I know most all cases the wife gets to keep the rings. But is there any instance where the husband gets the rings back? in this case they cost 10k paid for in full by husband. wife left and asking for divorce, so he wants the rings back. sounds reasonable but what would the law say? and if not is there a way to fight it so the husband can get them?

Re: wedding rings
Wedding rings are normally considered a gift in the marriage. When a gift is received during the marriage, the gift is considered separate property and not community property, so absent an agreement to the contrary, the wife's wedding ring is her separate property, as is the husband's wedding ring.

Re: wedding rings
wedding rings are personal gifts and thus are considered separate property. now I can come up with all sorts of theories as to why they should be returned to you, but they will probably fail. pursuing them does not merit the financial risk. let them go.
