New Port Richey, FL asked in Divorce and Family Law for Florida

Q: My wife and I are getting divorced. My truck is in her name and her vehicle is in mine. Can I take mine back?

This is in Florida. Both vehicles are solely in the other spouses name. I am trying to take the one in my name and give her the one in her name until we get divorced and can figure it out in court. She is objecting but the divorce has not been filed yet. Both vehicles are being financed

A: You do not mention if the other party is objecting. Generally when a divorce is file the expectation is that both parties will maintain the status quo, financial and otherwise. You should continue to use the vehicle that you have traditionally used. If that requires a change then you must either reach an agreement with the other party or have the court decide. The titles can be sorted out at the end of the case. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
