Boyfriend wants money, is this legal?

My former boyfreind says he wants to take me to court. When we were dating he bought me alot of expensive things and now he wants them back or the money he paid for. Can he do this if they were gifts?

You should have a fairly decent day in court if he takes it that far.

So, do you want to keep the stuff to remember him by? Give him the clothes... they'll look good on him...as will the purses!

Give him the laptop...after you have the memory destroyed... you wouldn't want your personal info left on it!

Then you wont have to worry that anyone will think you were just a gold digger.

Good, if you can show how the receipts correspond to special occassions, that helps you.

Hmm - this could be problematical in Small Claims Court - these were gifts but you have the receipts? Could be seen as contradictory.

I see what you mean, he told me to keep them just in case we needed to return it or something.

Well if you have the reciepts it looks to me like he can't even prove that He bought them. Just sit back and let him take you to court if he's that stupid. I wouldn't even worry about it. It seems like everything is in your favor. hey quick question while ya'll were together did you buy him any gifts? If so did he give them back to you since ya'll have split up?

Are you suggesting that she lie about who bought the various gifts, that she say she bought them and not him because he doesn't have receipts - ?

(Whether or not she bought anything for him, whether he gave the gifts back, is immaterial.) Interesting but not pertinent.

I think that you are reading too hard into what I typed and said. i never said anything about her "lieing" about it. Just simply that she has the reciepts and not him it will be alot harder for him to prove that he bought them.

Whether it is immaterial or not I was simply asking a question as to her purchasing things for him during the relationship. I was asking out of curiousity.

And my point was he says he bought the gifts but doesn't have receipts; she says he bought the gifts and she has the receipts - and the receipts are a non issue. Why is this harder than having the receipts in hand?

Or else she lies and says he didn't buy the gifts, she did, she has the receipts. Sorry if I misunderstood you - I thought that was where you were going.

That's okay. I didn't explain myself. Earlier she said he might be taking her to court. Usually in that situation the judge wants to see proof that he bought them. If she has the reciepts and he doesn't and if she didn't want to volunteer that information it would just make it harder for him to prove he bought them and it would probably get thrown out. Regardless, with them being gifts it will probably get thrown out like someone had stated earlier. But no I am not for lieing or saying that she lie.

JudyKayTee disagrees: I don't know your experience with the legal system but if she doesn't "volunteer" the info she is lying to the Court. There is no "grey
