Legal Question in Mediation in California

Engagement Ring

My fince (now ex) and I broke

up recently on mutual terms

(could not agree on wedding

date of all things!) and she has

not given me back the 50k+

ring. Is this a case for Small

Claims court (didn't think it was

because of dollar amount

involved) and if not, what

should be my next step in

getting the ring back. Many

Thanks.

Re: Engagement Ring

The ring is yours and she is obligated to return it to you. There is a Civil Code Section that directly applies to your situation.

This is not a case for small claims. If you would like to pursue this further, please contact me directly.

Best of Luck.

I remember this question from law school. You can hire me to send her a polite letter explaining why legally it is yours. Contact my office.
