要回房子有点难， 但房款可能要回
合川海安律师事务所黄海律师：
如果买房是陶先生出的钱，但房屋所有权登记为女方，就相当于赠送行为。所以，要回房子的可能性不大。但是，由于双方当时没有签订赠与合同，如果陶先生手上有确凿证据证明该房的房款由他支付，那么他可以通过法律途径要回房款。
婚前赠贵重物品， 最好只送使用权
重庆美佳律师事务所律师刘丽：
男 女双方恋爱时往往喜欢互送礼物，其中不乏房子、车子、宝石饰物等贵重物品，而分手后因是否归还这类贵重礼物而起的矛盾经常发生。建议恋人互赠贵重礼物，可 以只赠使用权。比如，赠送给对方房子或车子，最好独自去购买，在户主和车主栏写自己的名字，再将房子或车子交给对方使用。还有一种方式就是签订有条件的赠 与合同，写明赠与只在恋爱关系维系期间成立，恋爱关系破裂则取消。
