what state are you in?
Generally, all property (regardless of title) goes into the marital estate and it is divided equitably - this means generally 50/50. I am an attorney in Florida. This is the law in Florida and most states.
He probably wants you to have it.

It is both yours and his...if you purchased while you were wedded....you can ask , that you are able to keep it as a part of the settlement if you want it...Don't know which is easier on you....If the truck is paid for, if there are big payments left on it that you will now be responsible for alone?along with the insurance or will He continue to help pay the pymts.?Anything you owned before the marriage is not parts to be shared only what you bought together in the marriage should be negotiated and divided equally...Sad and sorry to hear you on the road to dvc court...Try and remain friends it is easier on all concerned....

The truck question is best answered by an attorney or a parralegal. Be very careful about taking his offers because you probably will be short changing yourself to what you are entitled to. Alamony? Children? Furniture?Dog? House? Horse? Just ask for help if you cannot afford legal fee's ,there are suppport groups you can turn to. Been there did that!!!!!!!!!!

I went through this anything bought during the marriage can be split equally if all parties agree,If not all will be sold and split 50/50 not fair but thats when you ay want to consult with an attorney usually first consult is free.I would start stashing a little rainy weather oney so your not left with nothing

It is community property and subject to a 50/50 split in value.

Every state has different laws. In NY it doesn't matter whose name the truck is in. If it was purchased after you got married it's marital property. Call your local Legal Aid and ask them.

it can depend ,however have a family member sign a lien against the truck, this is usually free,and after the nasty divorce your family can sign off on the lien. it all has to be in your name first,and its free...good luck ,been divorced twice...carla

It depends on whose name is on the original title . If you have not changed the TITLE, it is still in both names, and it is still condisered half his.

sounds like he's trying to stick you with the truck payment.
