I gave my daughter $20K to start a company with her husband. They divorced and he got the business. Can I ask for it back? The Moneyist: 'Is this money related to residual feelings about this man’s character, or how he behaved during their marriage?'

In 2012, my daughter and her husband wanted to start a business. She asked for a loan of $20,000 to start the business, but I decided to make that part of her inheritance. So I gave them $20,000. Now they are divorced, and he got the business. Can I ask him for the $20,000 back given that the money was meant for my daughter as her inheritance?Dear Father,

You can ask for it back, and appeal to your brother-in-law’s generosity of spirit, but whether or not he agrees is another issue. He is under no legal obligation to return the money. There is no money per se to return. Would it be nice? Yes. Good etiquette? Maybe. Good ethics? Depends. The Moneyist:‘I lost my mom 2 months ago and I’m still in a fog’: My brother and his family moved into her home. They want more than half

If so, this could be easier to solve than the $20,000 question. Perhaps you saw him as a son and feel personally betrayed. If you examine your feelings about your former son-in-law, and put them to rest, you may be able to vanquish your unhappiness over the money that you gave your daughter.

Gave vs loaned

was it a dowry? 'here's 20 grand, 'til death do you and my daughter part... or, I want it back with interest.' you'd need language like that. on the other hand, as a gift to your daughter, it's his & her community property.

Have you tried nonconventional forms of persuasion? I know a guy name Luca Brasi from a very prominent family. DM me.

good

U can ask him

No leave the money with the husband but tell him to give you 50% of the business , your daughter can find someone else.

Trash just trash pointless trash

You gave someone money.... Sure you ask for it back after it‘s been spent, but don’t hold your breath.
