Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri

Re: Wedding Canceled

I would need more facts to analyze whether a judge would be likely to award the engagement ring to your daughter. Missouri takes a "who's at fault" approach to the engagement ring situation. So, if the judge determines that the engagement was called off due to the groom's conduct, then the judge will probably award the ring to your daughter. As far as the amounts paid for the wedding deposits, again, I would need to find out more facts. You may very well have a claim that could be brought in small claims court or in Associate Circuit Court. I am currently helping a man obtain an engagement ring he gave his former fiance where the engagement was called off by the former fiance. We are utilizing a demand letter and small claims petition to effectuate the return of the ring. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you.
