Q: if the vehicle is in my husbands name can he make it possible for me not to drive it?

My husband stated he wanted to separate this weekend, but all of the cars are in his name. I made all the payments on my car, can he legally take the car so i would have nothing to drive?

A: If he takes the cars, the courts and the police will likely do nothing about it until the matter is resolved through the Courts or he voluntarily provides a car to you.
