Q: What happens to a vehicle that is in my name And Loan is in my name ?
My wife and I are going through a divorce we have 2 Vehicles. We have a 2002 Kia Sportage. And then we have a 2013 Kia Rio . The 2013 vehicle is only in my name and the lone is only in my name I have been the one making the payments on it. The 2002 sportage is in both of our names under or so either of us can-do whatever we like with that vehicle I do have the title. But she has the vehicle but the vehicle is broken down I offered to get it fixed so she does have reliable Transportation. But what I am wanting to know is what will happen to the vehicle that is in my name and the lone is solely in my name. She does not appear on any paperwork of the 2013 vehicle And I got the vehicle from her before the divorce was filed.
A:
There is nothing the divorce court can do to take your name off of the loan papers. The court will decide who gets vehicles, and who pays what, unless you both agree on this.
There are several ways to help protect you financially on this. You should consult an experienced Family Law attorney for help.
