QUESTION
Can my husband take a gift given to my son by his step dad?
Asked on May 19th, 2013 on Family Law - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
My husband has taken away and grounded my son from the jeep numerous times, A lot of which I have disagreed with. However this time he is saying my son can never have the jeep back again, that he plans to keep it. It was given to him for his 16th birthday as a gift it was the only gift he received that year. My son is 18. We still have the jeep it is just sitting in the driveway; it has a clear title which is in my husband’s name as well as mine. We have it insured. However, my son is insured ONLY on the jeep. We have pictures and friends and family that can testify to it being given to him as a gift. My son has also invested time and money into the jeep, tires, inspection, oil, tags.

If it was given to your son, why is it in your husband's name? Just for insurance? If your son cannot live by the house rules, he needs to move out. He can then sue you and your husband to have the title transferred to him. Of course, he will then have to pay all of his own living expenses. Look, this is more than a legal issue - your family needs help. I suggest all three of you go to counseling.
