just push the idea that he was a richer older man trying to drowned you in gifts and money to keep your interest. it'll work out for you. no judge likes the idea of an older man preying on a college girl that could be easily be seen in their eyes as their own daughter.

Well if you have an attorney already, he/she will tell you all that you should be doing. It is really your ex's responsibility to prove that these were loans. He would need to have a written agreement between the two of you. He can say you had a verbal agreement but it is your word against his. If he is rich, he might have a better lawyer than you, but he probably doesn't have a good case. Good luck.

Thank goodness your not with that fit throwing overgrown kid anymore. All I can say is let it happen. I don't understand what type of law they are going to enforce other than common law. At least you have an attorney. Just wait till the court day, and maybe the judge will see how idiotic this guy is. He better be able to back it up cause you can't retrieve money for gifts!!!

Lacking written documents, it's going to be messy. Traditionally, an engagement ring is a gift in anticipation of marriage, and is returned if there is no marriage, but the rest is more likely to be considered gifts, unless there are unusual circumstances that would make them apparent loans or, as is the case with the ring, contingent gifts. Your lawyer should be in the best position to guide you on what to expect, though it would be wrong of him to predict an outcome.

This is an age old question about boyfriend and girlfirends giving gifts to each other, break apart and wants their gifts back. Not unless you have express (in writing) or implied (verbal, which is hard to prove) agreement on the gifts you are giving to each other, then no one could take back the gift already given.
The essence of giving is the willingness to give without any strings attached, and gift are meant to be given away without recourse.
Your lawyer knows best. Good luck.

I can't believe that someone makes such a big thing out of $200. The money is not the issue here, it's just a way to be a pain because he is no longer your BF and that bothers him, and he doesn't want to walk away from it. All legal things aside, no contract and all that, at the end of the day you used that money to bail out your son, so ethically, not legally, there would be merit in paying it back. It would also get him out of the picture the quickest, like: here's your $200, thanks for the key, goodbye, the end. But I'd say it's up to you.

If it was gifts then the judge will believe it. What types of gifts? gifts are not loans. Now, the money may be an issue but once you prove he is lying about the gifts you will probably be fine. As long as he have no proof that you said you would repay him, then you are fine!!!!Especially if he is only doing this because you broke up!!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. You may need to give him money back, but gifts...no way. And if the money came as gifts, that too...wouldn't worry about it. I think if there are things that have his name on it, that's what you should worry about. Is he paying off a car he bought for you? A huge diamond ring? That's a little more tangible. I've never heard of anyone winning a lawsuit to get gifts back, even if the dude is poor.

unless he has an agreement in writing that the money he gave you was a loan, I doubt very much he will win. Gifts are usually pretty easy to prove as gifts, esp if it is jewlery.
and I like trucks idea!!!

Unless he has something to prove they were a loan, the judge is just gonna laugh at him. I seriously doubt the lawyers would ever allow this to make it to court anyway.
