That situation sounds really upsetting, especially when you’ve put in your own money and work to help pay for the car. In Montana, if you’re listed as a co-owner on the vehicle title, that typically means both you and your dad have equal legal rights to the car. Without both owners’... View More

That kind of surprise can feel unsettling, especially when you’ve already counted on the money as part of your earnings.
