One of the most important concepts in receiving money back from friends and loved ones is whether or not you gave the person a gift or a loan. If your ex-girlfriend was never expected to pay the $12,000.00 back, then you gave her a gift. If she acknowledged the money as being borrowed from you, then you gave her a loan. You have to be able to prove that you expected her to pay the money back. The way you describe the situation sounds like you gave her a series of cash gifts for repairs to her home, but there may be more to the story. If you have emails, text messages, or witnesses who can corroborate your story that you expected her to pay this money back, then you may be able to file suit against her for breach of contract. Otherwise, you're going to have a hard time proving that the money you gave her was not a gift.
