[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A DH proposed to his wife with a ring that has been in his family for two generations. She knew at the time that it is a family heirloom. The ring actually belongs to a family trust and was passed to DH with the stipulation that it is his only for his lifetime and reverts to the family after that to be possessed by his sister's oldest living child. DH and wife are now divorcing after 11 years of marriage. Leaving aside the legal implications (that the family trust may sue DW to get the ring back), is DW morally obligated to give the ring back?

Does the answer change if DH is an abusive asshole who has yet to pay child support?

Does the answer change if DW is the abusive asshole who cheated on DH and left him and the kids for her lover?[/quote]

I would hock it.[/quote]

This is a rich family who cares. He probably had her sign a pre-nup and she will be pretty much destitute after the divorce. You can't get blood from a stone so sue away.[/quote]

Crazy feminist here. So, are you saying that the only way for women to not be destitute is to be married?  DW can work and support her kids. If not, then she shouldn't have had four of them. That's why there's birth control and abortion. Women get to be in the driver's seat on this.[/quote]

Seriously, what a messed up assumption over a goddamned ring. Plus, prenups don't cover child support, so that doesn't matter, which leaves wifey taking care of herself. Like adults do.[/quote]
