Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
My son's wife has ask him to leave thier home. She is done with the marriage.
The ring my son gave her is a family heirloom. My diamond center stone. Also, diamonds from my deceased mother's ring. Gold from my mothers ring also went to make a wedding band.
The setting itself is not paid for. At the time of purchase I paid for the setting. The ring has not been paid for.
My question is, who is entitled to the ring?
My son has asked her for the ring twice. The first answer was, it was a gift. And, I think about it.
The second answer was, when he was moving his belongings out of thre house, the ring is not here.

Usually, a court will allow for an heirloom to be given back, although its value may be considered in allocating assets. So if for example the marital assets are $10000 including that ring and let's say the ring is worth $2500. Assuming that there is a 50/50 split, your son would get the ring and $2500 of other assets.
