Q: I am estranged from my husband. My vehicle is in his name, he is wanting to take the car and turn it in.
Leaving me with no transportation, although he has a car and truck.
I am on disability and cannot afford the payments on my own. What are my rights/options legally?
A: Until a divorce is filed, there is nothing in place to prohibit him from turning in the vehicle. You should consult with an attorney to discuss the specific details of your case. If you can not afford an attorney, you may qualify for services through your local legal aid office. Unfortunately, filing for divorce or separate maintenance are the only ways to secure support from your spouse.
