My husband is asking for a divorce, he bought me a car (so it is in his name) he gave my paid off car to his friend- So for the past year I have been driving the new car- I have two children that I need to provide for (so , I need a car) What is the chances that a judge would grant me the car- Also he left me and my children (not his) without any financial support- Isn't that abandonment?

Looks like the Judge would rule in your favor. You need transporation and you need to take care of your children...they are the important issue not him. He has lost already..he just doesn't know it yet.

Generally, when you divorce you and your husband split all your accumulated property 50-50 so it is entirely possible you and he can work out a settlement where you get the car. Keep in mind you may have to give up something of similar value but I would say there is an excellent chance of you keeping the car. As for him not giving you any financial support, you may very well be entitled to alimony (the law varies from state to state) and possibly child support even though the children are not his. (Depending on how much contact they have with their father, how big a role your soon to be ex played in their life.)

You ned to give betetr details, well more details to it. The children aren't his. How long have you been married? When he left you it was clear he did this. He wouldn't leave any money for you. He is asking for the divorce so no it is not abandonment. There is only one care between the two of you? I am assuming he took the car when he left you. If that is the case then most likely the judge isn't going to give it to you, depending on how long it has been in his care. You need to check with the state you are living in.

Explain to the judge that you need that car to get to your job that you need as well as you have children to support and your husband walked out on you and is not giving you any finacial help. Tell the judge you had a car but he gave it away and this car that you're using now is your only means of transportation.
The judge will not bash you for providing for your children and should grant you the car without hesitation.

If they're not his children he is not required to support them outside of your marriage to him. If you want financial support for those children you'll have to seek it from their father. Usually if the wife gets the house the husband gets the car. I suggest you check bus schedules and car pools as well as used car lots. Unless you want a judge to give YOU the car and HIM the house.

yes, he abandoned you, the children were never his to begin with so he had no financial responsibility towards them from the begining, in this case since the kids are not his then the judge will probably not be as giving towards you as he should be considering that it is not his responsibility to care for your kids that are not his and to provide anything for them, this includes transportation and such.
you may need a car but you are just as capable of working and buying one, the children are not his financial responsibility

Unless your husband adopted your 2 children and gave them his last name, he's not responsible for their welfare or financial support.
You will need to check on financial support, such as alimony in your state.
First thing contact an attorney; set up a free consultation; and get some advice on what your prospects are concerning the divorce.
Every state is different and you need to educate yourself on what your options are going to be.
Good Luck and sorry to hear about your difficulties.

In Virginia state,all the property made after marriage is divided equally.As far as children are concerned,you should ask child support from their real father.In some circumstances judge may let you keep car,if he thinks will help raising the kids.There are different laws from place to place.
