The answer to your question is yes. The court can order you to pay for the car. Whether the judge does or not depends on a variety of factors. If she is abusive and you have custody of the children, it's less likely you'll have to give her the non paid off car. Consult an attorney in... View More

You can't file a counterclaim in a contempt case. Having a case dismissed isn't as good as having a hearing and the Court finding you are not in contempt. Speak to an attorney about your options.
