Wedding gifts can be a tricky issue in a divorce. Usually gifts received by either party prior to marriage are separate property of that spouse and not subject to division by the divorce court. However, in my experience, when the parties cannot agree on splitting up the pre-marriage gifts, the divorce judge is likely to either order the gifts returned to the gifting family member or friend (in a short term marriage), or award the gift to the spouse whose family gave the present to the couple. In extreme circumstances, the judge can order the gifts sold and split the money between the spouses.
