Birthday gift right before divorce, man takes it back or woman gets it? - General

Imagine a man bought his wife a birthday gift - a large flatscreen television to put in their bedroom. Then, in events completely unrelated to this gift, they grow apart and argue extensively, leading to a divorce two weeks later. In this time, the TV was left neglected, sitting in its box, unopened in the living room, because they had not yet found a time to call the comcast guy or whoever to set up service for this new TV. So, who should keep the TV: The man, because they're getting divorced and he doesn't feel like letting her take this unopened TV which he paid for out of his own pocket, and his wife didn't get it set up, showing she wasn't particularly attached to it -OR- The wife, because it was clearly a gift to her and the man shouldn't be able to take it back just like that?

The man because it's always the womens fault.

The man

you cant use a television to cook

the woman won't need it, she'll be in the kitchen making sandwiches.

The women. Unless the gift had a stipulation that ownership isn't transferred until x time, it's hers immediately.

This is stupid. You shouldn't be married if your relationship can go from just fine to divorce in two weeks.

The man, becasue if this ever happens, i want the TV

As much as I hate to say it, the woman. It doesn't matter how much she likes it or not, it was a gift to her and it's not his to take back; unless she offers to give it to him of course.

The man should marry the TV.

Its a gift Ive never heard of anyone that gives someone a gift and goes "LOL IM TAKING IT BACK NOW"

It's a gift, unless you have no idea how gifting works, the woman keeps it.

I would try to get it back, but if it was pronounced as a gift it's hers. If you just said "hey look I bought this huge tv for our bedroom"..

You don't take back a gift after it has been given.

Legally, it's the women's. Personally, I think it should be the man's because that's just a dick move to do.

He gifted the TV to her, she keeps it but he gets the wedding ring back.

It kinda depends on what terms they leave each other. But I'd say if they leave on good terms the man should be selfless enough to leave the TV. If the woman is pissed off to no end then the man should take the TV because she'd hate the thing anyway.

Well it all depends on if it can fit in the kitchen or not.

Leave it. Show her that you could 1. No longer care anymore 2. Willing to leave a part of himself to her. Either way she's going to be moping back.

who bought it? if the man bought it and the woman wants a divorce right after it the man should keep it, I think it would be stealing if the woman kept it

The wife, You shouldn't give gifts then take them back.
