I'm separated from my husband. I have a car worth $6000. He has a leased car worth $10,000, but the lease is $15,000. He claims I owe him $3000 (half for my car) but what about his car? Does he not owe me because it's a lease? How does this work?

Look, it all depends on where you live. The laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If you want legal advice, ask a lawyer from your jurisdiction. We can't answer that here.
If you lived in my jurisiction, yes, I could tell you what we do here but your laws might not be the same and, not knowing where you are, I can't begin to guess if they are.

I'm a lawyer and I agree that you certainly can't get questions like that answered here. Where are you writing from, in the first place? You need to consult legal counsel from your jurisdiction, or if you can't afford to pay for formal advice, you can visit a legal clinic or the public law department of your local district law office.
You can also use a law library to read up material on matrimonial causes and divorce law. This isn't difficult to do, probably a couple of hours of research which will keep you informed on all you need to know to get through this period.
Good luck!

In michigan i know that if he spent money on your car and you didn't pay him back and the car is in your name, if he spent more than half the money it took to buy the car, it's his and you get your money out of the whole thing. But in your case, if the car is in your name and he paid half the price, you do owe him but you keep the car. Opposite if the car is in his name. I suggest learning the state law and being your own lawyer because these lawyers today demand a heavy price. Hope that helps.

Get a lawyer. Too complex to be handled here. He will keep finding other things that you owe him 1/2 of.

Since there are two cars. You will keep your car, and he will keep his car. There should be no money exchanged in regards to the vehicles
