^Serious question, in divorces, is it uncommon for the husband to after the wife's engagement/wedding ring/band?
I only thought of it as I was trying to think of something that only the wife might care about that the husband would go after out of spite.
Stuff like that really sucks. My co-worker went through a pretty nasty divorce last year. He basically gave away everything so that he could keep the kid. He even agreed to allow her to pay no child support.


Depends on the jurisdiction but in most places the rings are a gift and cannot be taken back.

There are some exceptions, and if a wife has a large and valuable enough jewelry collection it could be valued to use as an offset against the Husband's assets he wants to keep. But the market for resale of used jewelry is virtually non-existent.

I don't doubt your co-worker's situation but in most jurisdictions he can't permanently give up child support. What he should do is get her to agree, then a year after the divorce is finalized file for support. Many Court will refuse to enforce the prior agreement. He should contact a local attorney if he has further questions.

what a ******* **** ******. hope she gets nothing.


They have decent assets, a house, good retirement, some savings, and she'll get the bulk of it (probably 55% or even 60%) because of the disparity of their income levels. He's just really pissed she's going after his records. As a fellow lover of vinyl records it pissed me off as well.


I'm no big-city lawyer, *bwakaw* but couldn't he testify that she only wanted them out of spite, citing her saying she'd sell them for $1 each at the record store, here-say or not?

I don't know all the details as I didn't have a chance to talk to anyone about this but it was more likely arranged. It was a group of criminals that somehow got him out of the house and murdered him,the guy had some businesses so my theory is that it had to do something with that. Other theory is that his father is a retired judge and I've heard that he sent bunch of people behind the bar so it could have to do something with that. In any case, things should have never gotten so brutal. Five of the murderers have been arrested, I hope they will all be served justice.

That's the worst thing I've heard in a long time. The sickness and depravity in some humans is truly shocking...I also hope these people will be served the justice that is necessary.

Actually, it could be admitted as an exception to hearsay - admission by party opponent - but the intentions of the parties are generally ignored in this county.

So in a divorce I could be like "I want custody of the kid because I plan to kill him to spite my wife" and they'll just pretend they didn't hear that?

Awesome.

She's probably going after the records so she has a bargaining chip. That's what I would do if I were her attorney.

Custody is a completely different story. Divorce and Custody are two separate issues. In Custody, the paramount concern is the best interests of the child. If someone were to say he or she wanted to kill the child the court would certainly take notice of that fact.
