Q: I'm separated and my wife took our newest car. Both in my name. Can I take it back and leave older one? She left me.
We sold her old vehicle for $6000. She owed $5000 on a loan for it. The car she is in did not involve her car, and we actually traded my personal vehicle for that. I've offered to give her a car of equal value.
A: Call a family law attorney for a consultation. Your question not specific enough.
A: If the car is in both of your names, you both have equal rights to the car. However, I would not suggest taking it without consulting with an attorney. It may not be in your best interest under certain circumstances.
