Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Indiana

Re: How to collect expenses for cancelled wedding.

You may have the ability to sue your former fiancee to recover the amounts you spent. Was the wedding to take place in California, and where are you and your former fiancee located? If you are in Southern California, please feel free to contact me.

Re: How to collect expenses for cancelled wedding.

In ancient times, wasn't it the bride's family who exclusively paid for the wedding? If both you and your fianc� (not fianc�e, that's the bride-to-be) agreed to split the costs, then you can sue to try to recover the difference.

Re: How to collect expenses for cancelled wedding.

The good news is that under well-established California law, you can keep your engagement ring. Because he cancelled the wedding, it's a gift.

The bad news is that you will need to sue him and his father for the balance of the charges. If you can prove that they made a valid agreement to pay for the charges, then you can recover. Are the total costs under $7500? If so, sue them in Small Claims.

If not, find a decent collections attorney to help. We are collection litigators, and we accept cases on an hourly and/or contingency basis. We routinely litigate statewide. If you would like a no charge consult, please call or email.

Good luck.
