Man suing ex-fiancée who refuses to return $30K ring | New York Post

A Manhattan man is suing his ex-fiancée because she ended their engagement but won’t return the pricey, custom-made ring.

Philip Langer, 45, proposed to leggy blonde Ashley Jae Chesler, 43, just three months after they met in a Manhattan bar.

Here's the legal aspects:

So, the short story in New York State...

+ Broken engagement where both people weren't married at the time of the proposal: ring goes back to the giver.
+ Broken engagement where the giver was still married: good luck with that.

Ay caramba. Only a woman of low character would keep the ring.

Or maybe the guy was a total fool so she's teaching him a little lesson against being foolish.

Lol. Why the f is he buying a 30k ring for a bimbo he met in a bar 3 months prior? I wonder if it had to do with the observation of Wow your toe rings match your earrings. Wanna get married?

And before you guys come down on my bimbo comment even the link describes her as a leggy blonde. Christ I wonder if she had a folding shovel in her overnight bag.

He's a dumbass for spending that much on someone he just met, but she should return it.

She should return it, and by law she has to.. and yes, he was a fool.

He's an idiot, but, yeah, she has to return it. She's completely evil if she refuses, and forces an actual lawsuit.

What law and where?
Why should she have to return a gift he freely gave her?

Two idiots trying to out-idiot each other!

The amazing thing is that in another three months, each of them will have found completely new idiots willing to marry them!

Because NY State law requires it?

A ring given as part of an engagement is probably a contract law issue. If the contract (the wedding) is broken, then the gift probably needs to be returned.

The only thing that would have made this story better would have been if her first name was Tiffany instead of Ashley.

He successfully crossed the maybe bridge before the ring was purchased.
