Can an ex take you to court and sue you for gifts?
My ex is disgruntled because I broke it off and now is saying that adjectives that spending money she gave me which was a significant amount, was lately a loan now. She is threatening to take me to court for a large sum of money that she give me and now wants back. Since it be a gift, there was never any papers simply cash given to me after she went to the bank and get me the money. I never asked her for it and she just wanted to buy me to keep me. Should I verbs?
She can, but won't win. As long as you didn't sign anything saying it be a loan & that you would pay her back she's just wasting her time & money!
You have to prove it was a gift . Why would she furnish you a large amount of money for no reason ?. How wealthy is she?. It will depend on a few things. if you will own to pay her back or not. Why does she have to prove it be not a gift. Can you prove it was a gift and not a loan. They may want to know why you would pocket money from someone and not have earned it. You are that great she just give you money??
I watch a lot of court TV and you may have a harder time than some presume. Most jurisdictions will say that if there be no agreements on repayment, then it was a gift and you do not inevitability to return it. However if she has money and you don't life can be pretty miserable if she hires a lawyer and you must also to safeguard yourself in court. Even if you are right you still need a lawyer to shelter you. Consider which is cheaper, pay her off or hire a lawyer.
Even if it actually was a loan, she'd be sh*t out of luck. She can't prove that she gave you a dime within court.
no, she cannot sue u, a gift is unconditional, if there was no intention that it be a loan & no evidence that it was, she has no case, the court will construe it as a contribution given that u were in a relationship She is out of luck. Gifts are not expected to be returned when the romance is over. As far as money, if she doesn't have papers signed by you that it be a loan, oh well she made a bad investment.
Well, anyone can sue anyone. However, it's unlikely she can prove it be a loan. If this money was given over an extended period (year or more) and she never got ANY repayment...she will own a difficult time convincing a judge it was a loan and/or that she had a concrete expectation of repayment. I wouldn't worry about it. Anyone can sue anyone else for anything. Whether she is successful will depend on whether the money was a payment or a loan. If she testifies to a loan, with a specific due date, and you testify that there be no such agreement, then the judge or jury will have to resolve which is true. That will turn in part on which version is more modest.
