If it has been in both your possessions for 6 months, it is community property. Go buy a car for you and tell him to stick that one up his a**!

Are you serious? You would divorce over a car? You are in a marriage as a team. My hubby bought me a car about a year ago. We had just moved from New York to Nevada and he had his truck and he bought me a brand new car. His name was the only one on the title. Who cares! We are married, it is technically community property. About a month after he bought it he began driving it because the gas mileage was much better on the car than the truck. This left me without a vehicle all day with two kids! I am too short to drive his truck.
I was never mad about it. You have to do what you have to do. If you want to drive the car then go get a job and buy a car. Once you get married, it is all both of yours anyway.
Theoretically the car is legally his, (you can not register it or get info on it from the dmv or anything without his permission) but... If you have children and you divorce-chances are you would get the car. But, seriously, it is not worth it. It is a car. Ask him to buy another for you. If you don't work and want it during the day, then offer to drive him to and from work so you have use of it. Or go out and get one yourself. If he is taking it to work than he probably needs to and is sick of you not understanding that and therefore he throws it back in your face that it is his.
You didn't explain too much so it is hard to say. Why did he take the car back. And if he is just being a jerk right now, you are married... you need to work it out. Divorce? Absolutley not.
You need to really ask yourself, how much time do you spend in that car, and is it really THAT important that you be seen in it that you would consider divorce?

Divorce over a CAR?!? There's got to be more to this than an argument over a reclaimed Christmas present. Yeah he's a jerk, but is that the worst thing he's done to you?
This Christmas buy yourself a really great present that he couldn't possibly use, like a sexy dress, or an expensive ring, & put it under the tree with his name on the box. When he opens it up, then grab it out of his hand, put it on & say "Oh I guess I'll use this since my name's on the bill of sale"
Just kidding, don't do that really, because it will just add fuel to the fire.
Sit down with him & tell him how you felt on the Christmas day that he gave you that car, & how you feel now since he has taken it back without your consent. If he fails to listen, & understand then haul his a** to a marriage councellor.

If you are considering filing for divorce because of a car title, I think you already know the answer. You are just looking for someone to side with you so that you can justify what an a**hole he is. Nobody gets a divorce over a car. What else is goin' on? Think about it.

Why would you want a divorce from someone who bought you a car???? Lmao I mean, think about what you said, that sounds so harsh and shallow considering he spent thousands of $$ whilst you were engaged. Now you are married and have more financial commitments you should learn to compromise. You did say he works........well why are you complaining? Give the guy a break and get a life. Be more satisfied with your life.

Regardless of whose it is legally (you'd have to look up the title, registration, etc. to see if he's lying) it's up to you to decide if that is grounds for divorce. If you think that this situation is just one of many that you have encountered and is the sign of a deeper underlying problem, then it's possible that you two just aren't working out.
Either way, take the time to speak with your husband about it. Express your concerns and even your worries about the relationship. Go from there and see what happens.

If you are going to file for divorce over something like this, you probably shouldn't have gotten married in the first place.

yikes. In marriage, you technically share everything. Even gifts he gave you.
Suck it up and deal with it! Why are you so quick to want a divorce? Over a car? Seems to me the marriage might not have been much to start with?

If the car is in his name like you said and he is the primary user of the vehicle, then yes he lied to you, that car is not yours.
Should you divorce him? Over a car?
Yeah I guess if you only married him for the ownership of that car, silly.

Um well divorce is kinda harsh don't you think? just asking him if he wanted the car so bad why did he give it to you in the first place? I don't know how car ownership works tho I can't help you there

If someone, even your husband, gives you something that is a gift, it's yours and even if it's in his name, it's an act of bad faith for him to tell you how you should treat it. However, being that you're married you should share the car if he needs it, even if it was your gift. Even if it's not legally yours, it is still yours in principle especially since he gave it to you as a gift before you got married, so it really wasn't even a "family" car.
