Q: The title for my motorcycle is in my ex's name, divorce is not finalized, but she's canceled the registration. Options?!
I am currently separated from my spouse and we are un the middle of a divorce that doesn't look to end soon. During our we traded in my motorcycle for a newer one, and titled it in her name. This is my only means of transportation. She doesn't even have a motorcycle license. The bike is now paid off and she has the title. She refuses to sign it over to me.The divorce is no where near being finalized, and she has canceled the registration. What options do i have in order to get the title. I cant afford to buy a new bike/car.
A: If the divorce is not yet finalized, you can address this issue during the divorce proceedings. You may want to consult with your divorce attorney to discuss the matter and potentially request the court to address the division of assets, including the motorcycle. The court can issue orders to enforce property division, and your attorney can guide you on the legal steps to take.
