My ex and I bought a truck a year before we were married. We are both on the application and both on the title. The month that we separated he refinanced the house that we lived in. The house is solely in his name. Now he claims that he doesnt owe me anything regarding the truck. He also claims that since the amount he paid off is more that the resale value, that we would have taken a loss so he shouldnt have to pay me anything. Is this true?

He bought the house that we lived in before we were married. He is the only name on the deed. He refinanced and paid our vehicle and the credit cards in his name. Also another thing is that the value of the truck is less than what he refinanced. So if we sold it we would be negative.

You had nothing to do with the refinancing and are entitled to half of what the truck is worth. Go to small claims court.

In most circumstances a judge will award a vehicle to the party who has most used it. If there were 2 cars, one would be awarded to one, and the other to the other according to which vehicle was mainly used by that person. The house, regardless if it was bought by him before you got married is no relevance. There was no prenup I assume and you did live in it for the years you were married and spent years in that house possibly increasing it's value by improvements and work you did in it. He is obviously under the misconception that because it was in his name means you get nothing. Don't let him be too comfortable with that. Most judges will have him sell or make him settle an amount to you from refinance. Which he obviously has done.

When legally separated, he cannot refinance, change insurance, death benefits, incur credit card charges, or other such things until all divorce has been finalized. I would check into the original dissolution papers. It will be noted on them. He may have broken a court order and you can file an "order to show cause" to take him back to court. I've gone through this and learned quite a bit about it. Check with your local legal aid or the Superior Court where your divorce was filed. Sometimes they have free legal help from attorneys to those without an attorney and are financially unable to get one. He's full of sh**.

Judge Judy would say both of your names is on the title of the car and your entitled. You might have to go to small claims court. Make sure you have a copy of the application and title before telling him and going to court.

If the both of your names are on the lease then the truck belongs to the both of you and now that you two are not together anymore go to court and have the judge make him sell it and give you back your part of the money! Take it to court the judge can order him to pay you what you are owed!!!!!!!

No. If you're name is on that title too, that truck is 1/2 yours.

ok...1st off you need Legal counsel....get yourself to a damn good lawyer....This dude really needs a wake up call.....

If your husband owned the house before you married he is right on that aspect.....any debt created during the marriage is a 50/50 split.

Before you get railroaded and taken to the preverbeal cleaners...Get yourself a lawyer that will tear this man down to his tidy whities.....

With your name on the title the financial details do not matter. The truck belongs to you as well as to him.
