Unless there is proof the money was not a gift, then his wife cannot sue you. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE! YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY WHO IS LICENSED IN YOUR STATE FOR LEGAL ADVICE. This is merely suggestions for you to think about in discussing your situation with the local attorney.

The now wife has no standing to sue you. Your ex boyfriend does. You need to see if you have any proof it was a gift to you. Look on text messages, etc. Were there any witnesses who heard him state it’s a gift? Consult with an attorney near you if you are sued.
