Am I obligated to return an engagement ring if the wedding is canceled?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
An engagement ring is known as a conditional gift, meaning it is given with the expectation that you and your fiance will get married. Once you are married, the ring becomes a completed gift and belongs to you. However, because the wedding has been called off, you are no longer entitled to the engagement ring and must give it back.

Do we have to annul the first marriage and remarry to validate our marriage if I remarried 2 months before receiving divorce decree?

First, you don't need to annul the first marriage in order to remarry the same person because you can remarry the same person as many times as you'd like! If your current immigration status is based on a marriage that was never valid, you need to arrange for a consultation with an immigration attorney right away to discuss your case in detail. If your current immigration status is not based on your marriage, I don't think this would cause any trouble with naturalization - you'll just need to explain the situation if you now have information that conflicts with information that was previously submitted.

I live in texas and I sold a home that I purchased before we were married. His name was never added to the deed or mortgage.

Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
In Texas, the house would be considered your separate property upon dissolution of the marriage if you can present proof that you bought it before you got maried (which is sounds like you can). However, because you are still married to him, the title company needs his signature because there has not been a divorce and a judicial determination of title to the house. Thus, there has been no judicial determination of whether he should get proceeds from the sale of the house. Technically, he should not get any proceeds. However, since you are still married, he might make a claim for proceeds. Is he trying to get money from the sale? Will either of you file for divorce?
