Yes. If you are a mature adult, you would give him back the ring when you end the relationship.

Who broke it off? If him, no. If you, yes.

This is a gray area. If you view the offering as a gift, you can keep the ring; otherwise, you need to give it back.

The gift was in contemplation of marriage and the two of you are no longer contemplating marriage, so you have to give it back. Besides, he's probably still paying for it and there is no reason for you to profit from the breakup. But he can't just bust into your house and grab it if that is your question. If you can't stand to be in the same room as him and you have trepidation about the hand-over, you can arrange to have it turned over by a neutral party.

I have no idea since this question does not fall within my field of expertise (personal injury litigation).

If it was given on condition of your marrying him, then it was not a gift. Give it back, especially if it has some sentimental reasons to him.
