She is asking for it back

Answered 2 years and 7 months ago by attorney Stephen Arnold Black   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Domestic Violence
The general rule in most states is that once a person has the intent to give a gift to another person, and relinquishes control, and dominion and possession of that property over to the other person, then the gift is completed, and it cannot be revoked. However, if a gift is given in contemplation of marriage, and the donee of said gift does not go through with the marriage, then the gift giver can sue for a return of the gift. This is the general rule, so you should call an attorney in your jurisdiction for more specific advice.     ... Read More

What's the best defense against a false domestic violence charge?

Answered 5 years and 9 months ago by Nicholas Prescott Weiss (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Domestic Violence
There are two separate issues here. The first is the domestic violence charge. It's unclear from your question whether you have been charged with domestic violence, or if she is leveraging the allegation to get a divorce.

Need assistance suing my ex for medical bills incurred from him assaulting me

Answered 5 years and 11 months ago by Nicholas Prescott Weiss (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Domestic Violence
Unfortunately the first question that we have to ask is "is your ex collectable"? By that, I mean does he have any money or the prospect of future money to compensate you. This can sometimes be answered if there is any kind of insurance that he has, typically homeowner's insurance, that might cover assault if you were to bring a claim. If he doesn't have assets or insurance that would cover this, there is really no point in bringing a civil claim and you shold proceed with a criminal complaint.... Read More
