Who gets to keep an engagement ring if a wedding is called off
Who gets to keep an engagement ring if a romance turns sour and the wedding is called off?
The case involved Bruce Johnson and Caroline Settino, who started dating in the summer of 2016, according to court filings. Over the next year, they traveled together, visiting New York, Bar Harbor, Maine, the Virgin Islands and Italy. Johnson paid for the vacations and also gave Settino jewelry, clothing, shoes and handbags.
At some point Johnson looked at Settino’s cell phone and discovered a message from her to a man he didn't know. In their ruling the justices said the case raised the question of whether the issue of “who is at fault” should continue to govern the rights to engagement rings when the wedding doesn't happen.
A lawyer for Settino said they were disappointed, but respected the court’s decision to follow the majority rule among the states.
