Legal Question in Personal Injury in Iowa

Re: Girlfriend left after seven years

Ouch! Seven years and she's gone? Bad, bad, bad. Well I wrote an article and posted it at injuryboard.com under the Des Moines market and under my name. It would answer your question. You need to see a lawyer and the theory is under the case of: In the case of John Fierro vs. Janna Hoel, 465 N.W.2d 669 (Iowa App. 1990) the Iowa Court of Appeals took up this issue and decided as a conditional gift the ring must be returned if the marriage was never to be.

Injured Heart Must Give Back the Engagement Ring

See this post. http://desmoines.injuryboard.com/miscellaneous/family-law-injured-heart-must-i-give-back-the-engagement-ring.aspx?googleid=243590

If the ring has to be given back you have a good argument for her paying you for services rendered improving the house.

Good luck! Hope this helps.
