If your wife's mother gifted you money, it is not permissible for her to retract her gift and demand its return, due to the : "The one who retracts his gift is like the one who retracts his vomit." The matter of divorce has no bearing on this; you are not obligated to return what was gifted to you, whether you keep her daughter as your wife or divorce her.
