Q: Ex wife filed bankruptcy on truck I was awarded in divorce. It was Chapter 13. I have questions about my legal rights.
Divorce final 12-2018. Ex wife who lives in Tennessee filed bankruptcy on truck I was awarded in divorce. Her name was supposed to be court ordered off title but that didn't get put in divorce so it didn't happen. I was never notified. It went into bankruptcy in April of 2019. I recently found out it's in bankruptcy. I'm wondering what are my rights now? Do I keep paying payments and if so do I end up with truck in just my name? Can I refinance to get it out of bankruptcy? I've been making payments every month. Could I lose truck to bankruptcy or to ex wife even though divorce papers say it's mine? Please advise. And thank you.
A: You should contact a bankruptcy attorney who can evaluate the entire financial and divorce action and help you decide what your best option is going to be.
