Q: Hello, I am wanting to know about a soon to be divorce.
Hello,
I am wanting to know about a soon to be divorce. My wife is going to serve me papers sometime and I want the wedding ring back. It was a $2,500 ring from Kay and she ended up pawning it and lost it due to non-payment. How can a recoup the funds used for the ring since I am going to assume the paperwork I will get will not have anything about it.
Many thanks!
A:
There are quite a few questions involved here. First, and foremost the quickest you can be divorced is 31 days after you've been serviced, provided you both agree to the terms. If you suspect that her paperwork will not contain all the issues you wish to address, them make sure you file a response, so the Court has more than just the information she provides from which to make it's decision. Finally, wedding rings are typically viewed as marital gifts to the other party meaning it's hers to keep. it's not something the Court usually orders one party to return upon divorce.
