Did a fake ring void the pre-nup?
ERIE, Pa. (AP) - February 19, 2008 Now, a Pennsylvania appeals court has ruled in favor of a
millionaire car dealer who gave his now-ex wife a phony engagement
ring. Susan Porreco claimed her ex, Louis Porreco, stiffed her by
giving her a cubic zirconium instead of real diamond ring worth
$21,000. She contended the fake ring voided their prenuptial
agreement. The case has been kicking around the courts for years.
The couple divorced in May of 1998. Well, the appeals court sides
with the ex-husband. The court ruled Susan Porreco should have had
the ring appraised herself before signing anything. Louis Porreco
said his ex-wife wanted the fake gem, so she wouldn't damage a real
diamond while tending her horses.
