New York Divorce Report - Return of Engagement Ring - New York Has Jurisdiction Over Runaway Brides - Comments http://divorce.clementlaw.com/ Daniel E. Clement: New Jersey & NY Lawyer & Attorney for Family Law & Pre-Nuptials en Copyright 2010 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 15:34:09 -0500 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 15:34:09 -0500 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.32-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Thomas Swartz Couldn't the Court have used CPLR 302(a)(1) to find jurisdiction?? That provisions grants jurisdiction over anyone who, "transacts any business within the state or contracts anywhere to supply goods or services in the state." Is entering into a contract in NY to marry "transacting business" in NY?? Or is entering into a contract to marry to provide marriage "services" in NY supplying goods or services in the state?? I don't know, but perhaps the Court should have cited CPLR 302(a)(1) in addition to CPLR 302(b). I don't believe CPLR 302(b) by itself is sufficient.

Volp After 3 yrs. after my ex gave me the ring saying someday we would get married, we were vacationing in FL when my mother became ill. Not only would this man not take me to the airport, but told me not to contact him any longer. My mother passed away 2 weeks longer. This man did not
come to give support, but did not contact me when he heard she had passed. He has a great deal of my furninture, although I was only spending weekends there because I was
taking care of my parents. He kept pushing me to move in, but never mentioned marriage. I believe that I
have a right to the ring as it was basically a "gift". Comments please.

A engagement ring is a gift made in contemplation of marriage. As explained in the post, with one exception, if there is no marriage, the ring must be returned. There is no exception because the ex is not a nice person.

As for the your property, commence an action to recover it.

I presented a ring to her and now she dont want to get married or return my ring. She stated that it is collateral for me living with her and not contributing to the house hold. Am I still entitled to the return of the ring or can she use the ring for staying with her as collateral when she totally agreed and wanted me to with no charge or agreement?
