The final decision rests on the judge according to law half should be divided. If he doesn't drive the worst the judge can let you do is sell the car and give him half or you get to keep it. Its up to him and since you're in the midst of a divorce why hasn't your lawyer said anything about this??

Define what half of the car would be. Two tires, 1/2 steering wheel, 2/12 seats, what. It's kind of ridiculous to think that you could divide a car in a divorce. Although I guess the judge could make you sell it, and give him half the money. The funny thing about dividing things in a divorce is that you can never divide the vagina or penis, you always get to leave with all of them or none of them.

I had this with my ex,but he could drive but as i needed it for work as my job involved alot of driving i got to keep the car,but it depends on the solicitor you have they could make you sell it and let him have half the cash,you will have to try and prove that all the running costs of the car where payed by you.Why are men so awkward when it comes to divorce,i feel for you i hope all goes well.

Probably depends on the state you live in. Did you own your car before you got married? Or did you purchase it after? If you got it after you were married and it's only in your name, I believe that if it came down to it, they could still make you sell the car and split the profits.

Who bought the car? Who made payments for the car? Do you have children? If you have children and you need the car to drive your kids to school and so, the judge will most likely grant the car to you.

I'm sorry to say Yes he probably is entitled to half, but can you give him something else instead of the car???

If you had the car prior to marrying him, then the car is yours. If you bought it together, you'd have to "buy him out". If the car is in your name and he doesn't even drive, you'll keep the car. Also, it depends on how long you've been married.

If he can't drive then I would say no. Was there another car involved? If so then you guys would split them up. If you bought it then I would say no. Is there kids involved? I would say the person who has the kids would get the car.

No I don't think so, it's mainly big assets that have to be split. If you can prove the car is yours, and that you use it for work or whatever, then he can't have a claim on it.
