Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

my boyfriend/fiance of a year and 9 months broke things off with me
we lived together for 9 months. He told me to leave I had to quit school and my job and move back to Pennnsylvania. I am now 25 grand in debt with school. Because he verbally told me he would do what ever it took to get me thru school. Can he now take me to court because I kept the ring? He made me leave with only 300 dollars to my name.

A ring in contemplation of marriage that does not occur must be returned.

You cannot keep the engagement ring. It is a gift in contemplation of marriage. If the marriage never occurred, it is not your ring.
