[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]

The ring should be returned.  Family heirlooms should be returned. Even though wife and/or husband betrayed each other, it doesn't give the right to keep something that is legally not theirs.  So yes, at the very least, on the man's death, the ring should be returned per the stipulations of the trust.[/quote]
