Divorce Settlement Question -wedding rings

[Guest murrayskeeter]

Many divorce lawyers will advise that premarital assets may not become community property based on some state laws. However, most state laws are two fold. While one law states that premarital assets can not be part of the property divorce, there are also exceptions to those laws that can over ride the initial law.

ok.. chiming in... I agree with the OP. Keep the rings.

now.. something else has been bothering me as I have read this thread. I think it is a big part of what is wrong with society... Marriage as a "temporary" thing.. with contracts about who gets what when and if it falls apart. Please don't get me wrong. I know that there are times when a divorce is warranted and needful. But to go into an eternal commitment with a "pre-nup" about the wedding rings? I think if more people really communicated with their future spouse before making that commitment and then after making the commitment realizing that it takes work on both people's part to make a marriage a happy one then we would have less broken families with broken people.

Ok, stepping of the soap box...

I don't know about rings but when I broke up with Clara Mercedes Barthalo del La Cruz one late autumn day when the leaves of Barcelona blew thick like silverly scales in the fading afternoon sun, I asked for my self respect back.

There's also a point where it just isn't worth it no matter how much money it is.
