Q: Can my husband take away my transportation or any other assets we purchased together.
I have filed for divorce but My husband has taken both cars and left me with no transportation for our 4 minor children. Both vehicles were purchased while married and one is registered under both our names. Is this legal?
A:
Generally not. You'd likely have to go to court to ask for temporary spousal and child support and get an order for you to have sole and exclusive use of one of the cars. If you're ok with the one your name is on, take that one. If one of the other cars is better (e.g. newer, bigger, more reliable, etc), ask for that one.
