Q: Property taken without consent

The night my wife called cops on me - Cops made her leave as she was trying to hurt herself and blame me ... she took my brother's car saying that she will be back next day to pickup her stuff - now lawyers are involved and I have permission to see my 6-month old baby - Lawyer is saying since Car is not your property your brother has to go get it and not part of divorce - here is the kicker they have done something to the car and it's not working now ... What can I do to make her accountable as at the time she said she will be back next day and she never returned it ... and my brother never consented her to keep the car for so long .. its been 2- months - can't the be tried under contract law as she did make a verbal contract
