What about the jewelry?
| Mon, 07-11-2005 - 8:51pm |
Dh bought me a 10 year anniversary band which I reluctantly accepted. Do I have to give it back? Sell it? Save it for one of my dds?
And the other jewelry he bought me that I never liked? the stuff that looks exactly like his MOTHER's jewelry?

That may depend on the laws in your jurisdiction. In my State, a wife's jewelry are gifts to her, and therefore separate property. (Not marital property.)
Sometimes a wife needs those jewels to pay the retainer for her divorce lawyer. Sadly, the jewelry is probably worth a lot less to you than what he paid for it.
I think you should save the jewelry for your daughter. I sold my wedding rings ( the only thing I ever got from him ) and I basically wish I hadn't have done that. At the time I needed the money, but I really could have gotten it another way. I wish I would have kept them for my kids.
Hugs and good luck.
