My primary address is in PA. I own property with my partner in NJ. We are not married, but are separating. Do I need a lawyer licensed in PA or NJ?
Hi ****! For property issues in NJ, it's best to consult a lawyer licensed in NJ as they will be familiar with New Jersey property laws. Would you like help finding a local lawyer who can assist you further?
Do I need to give back an diamond ring if he never asked me to marry him, but still gave me the ring and we broke up?
In New Jersey, the return of an engagement ring can depend on the circumstances. Generally:
- An engagement ring is considered a conditional gift.
- If the condition (marriage) isn't met, the ring typically should be returned.
Since he never proposed, it might be considered an unconditional gift, and you may not need to return it. Consulting a local attorney can provide specific guidance. Would you like help finding a local lawyer?
