Q: My grandfather and sister both co signed for a car in October that my sister husband has been driving and paying for.
They both Just started divorce proceedings - my sister now wants nothing to do with the car- and her husband is missing payments on it. My grandfather has asked him to please make payments on the car if he wants to keep it. Can my sister transfer the title back to my grandfather.
A: If the car is marital property and either has filed a divorce, then the ownership of the car cannot be changed without court approval. Your sister should use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local family law attorney.
