Q: I am dating someone whose divorce has been decreed and the marital house sold and that money divided equally.
There are two vehicles with both names on the titles...one used and retained by each. She refuses to go with him to the DMV to separate ownership and retitle them. What is his recourse?

A: It sounds very much like he did his own divorce. If so, this situation would be a primary example of why that is an incredibly dumb thing to do. If the issue of the cars was not addressed during the divorce he may have to rely on her good graces to get the titles squared away. Unless he provides her with incentive likely in the from of a cash payment, there may not be any good reason for her to be cooperative at this point. He should consult with a local family law attorney who can review his situation in more detail and see what his options are. Best of luck.
