Re: Return of ''engagement'' ring
This question does not have a clear anawer. A birthday gift is a birthday gift. Delivery is intended as a gift. An engagement ring is intended as a committment to a future marriage. I would need further details to better evaluate options. Either way, this is clearly a case that could result in significant litigation if not privately resolved.
This is just a general answer based upon limited facts. It may not fit your personal situation as any change in the facts or the information might lead us down a different legal path.
