Legal Mechanics: Civil Theft vs. Common Law Conversion in Post-Breakup Asset Disputes

Common Law Conversion

Conversion occurs when a party intentionally exercises unauthorized dominion or control over personal property owned by another, depriving them of possession. Damages equal the Fair Market Value (FMV) at the time of conversion plus pre-judgment interest. Possession obtained lawfully (e.g., during a relationship) usually requires a formal Demand and Refusal before conversion lies.

Statutory Civil Theft & Treble Damages

Civil theft goes beyond conversion by requiring proof of felonious intent (criminal scienter) to permanently deprive the rightful owner. If proven, statutory remedies grant 3x treble damages plus mandatory reasonable attorney's fees. Most jurisdictions require a statutory 30-day written demand before serving a civil theft complaint.

Inter Vivos Gifts & Conditional Engagement Items

Items transferred as completed unconditional inter vivos gifts belong exclusively to the recipient and cannot be recovered under theft or conversion theory. However, engagement rings are generally treated as conditional gifts subject to return upon non-fulfillment of marriage promises under state partition standards.
