promise ring?
If you give your girlfriend a $2,000.00 PROMISE ring and you decide to break up because its for the best but she doesnt want to give the ring back, does she have authority to keep it, or do i have to the right to get it back when the ring is in my name and still making payments on it?

Re: promise ring?
Since it is not an engagement ring, then my opinion is that she does not have to give it back. Caselaw addresses engagement rings, but not 'promise' rings. I would expect that a judge would rule that it was a gift, and not returnable.
