On Feb 7 she got her first check for $7,500 she cashes it, put the $5,000 in an envelope. When my Husband came home from work, she told my Husband there was an envelope in his desk with $5,000 to put a down payment on a house. Its a Wedding gift from me to you. He then left and put the money in our bank. Now she wants it back and is Harrassing my husband and father-n-law. Can she takes us to Court?

She can certainly sue you, but doesn't sound like she has a case. If this was a gift (which it sounds like it was it is not revokable.
