Reply To: UNPAID LOAN BY EX-DAUGHTER INLAW

Legally, a loan given to anybody without paperwork cannot be treated as loan so there is no way that you can get it back. Anyway, anything given to daughter-in-law when she was residing with your son cannot be legally claimed back unless you documented it as a “Loan”.

Moreover, generally when divorce is signed by mutual consent, both the parties give each other’s belongings / gifts etc back and mutual consent agreement mentions that all exchange etc has been done and now both the parties dont owe each other anything. As you have mentioned that your son and daughter-in-law have already got divorced, now at this stage if you bring this matter to focus, you will not get anything as such.
