Today, my husband who asked for a divorce four days ago announced his engagement on Facebook. His new woman's profile picture is my engagement ring. FML

the ring is actually your personal property, as is your wedding band. the only time it's required that you give it back, is if YOU break off the engagement prior to the marriage. It's considered a form of contract until the wedding day, and upon the marriage becoming official, the ring is considered a gift to the bride/wife. The only time that a judge might make an exception with rings is if the rings are a family heirloom from his side of the family. So... I'd be calling the police and filing a theft charge against him asap.

I just want to know if the OP actually gave the ring back or if the soon to be ex-husband just took it. Either thing is possible especially considering since he just asked for the divorce and one of them would be working on the dividing and packing up of belongings. If the OP isn't the kind to keep wearing the engagement ring after the wedding it would have been easy for him to pocket it.

Well, get over him and find someone nice for yourself. Good luck in life.

Once the divorce has been announced the OP and him are both free to do what they want and for all we know he met the new women the day he asked for a divorce and they both fell head over heels for each other and are now rushing into things. Hell she could be some kind of mail order bride for all we know. All those screen shots would prove is that sometime after the divorce was requested the man got engaged to a new woman.

Actually, no, that is not the case at all. You can't just say "I want a divorce," and then immediately do whatever you want. A separation agreement is needed, and 4 days is rarely enough time to get one, so starting new relationships isn't ok. Even once you get this agreement, that only makes having relationships less risky, it doesn't give full permission with no repercussions. Under the law, until the OP and him formally sign the actual divorce papers and they're approved, the husband is committing adultery. Even under formal separation, it is still adultery against the marriage and OP, so she can go after him in court and the judge will rule in her favour because the husband started a new relationship before the old one was officially over.

I wouldn't get too bent out of shape over it. I'm sure you wouldn't want to keep a ring that is a constant reminder of a failed marriage. Instead his new wife can wear a ring that came from failure and think about that every time she looks at it. If she doesnt know it was your ring, send her a message on facebook so she knows what an increadible cheap ass your ex is.
