Q: Can something bought as a gift be taken in a court of law?
Basically, Dec 7, 2018, my grandma bought me parts for my computer for christmas, to replace my broken parts. She, at the time, had no intention of me paying it back. Then, after I move out of her house, in Nov 2019, 2 weeks after I moved out, she told me I had to pay her back. On Dec, 11, 2019 she messaged me again and told me I the amount I needed to pay for it and told me I had no time limit to pay for it. Now, she messaged me today, April 2, 2020, and told me she would be coming by to either get the computer from me or press charges, and that I could no longer be able to pay for it anyways. Is there anything I should be worried about? What usually happens in these types of cases?
A: This sounds like a domestic relations/family relations matter. I do not handle those types of cases. Sorry.
