Who Gets The Ring?

Question:

We were together 6yrs engaged for 4. Who gets ring?

I work and he goes to school. I put my career on the back burner while he enhance’s his career. We broke up after 6 yrs. 4 yrs engaged. Got engaged in Thailand.

Answer:

Generally, in Florida, the engagement ring will be considered non-marital property and will be completely your property and not subject to equitable distribution in Florida. Of course the specific factual situation of your case can change this classification. That is why you should sit down or otherwise contact a local attorney for an in-depth consultation tailored on your specific situation. The fact that the marriage took place in Thailand (assuming its valid in Florida) may not matter much if either of you have lived in Florida for the past six months and meet other jurisdictional requirements. Best of luck!
