The cars paid off and in his name and I need a car to take my kids to and from the babysitters and also to work. He's also demanding this if I don't return the car I would have to pay $3,000 to him.

Get a club on is ASAP and then get your attorney to get it in your paperwork that you get the car. YES he can take it and NO the police wont do anything about it because technically you are still married. Keep that club on it at all costs, they are only 50 bucks. I know this for a fact because my ex did this to me and is STILL hiding the car somewhere. Your ex is an awful man who doesnt give a s-h-i-t about his kids, just like mine, it hurts them more than it hurts me because i cant take them places or work well enough to support them like I would like to. This kind of behavior is unacceptable, but the answer is YES he can and probably will take it if you let him, the club kept him out of mine for months, but then I started getting lazy and forgetting to put it on and he took it in the middle of the night.

For future reference never buy anything that doesn't have both names on it. If only in case one dies, the other gets it. Judges really frown on this kind of behavior. And it is doubtful that you will have to pay for the car because he will consider it community property at the least. Which means you may have to sell it and divide the money. He's just being a brat cuz you are divorcing him, it sounds like you are right. Take a breath, you'll be ok, no matter what. You are a woman.

Tell your divorce lawyer. He can't harrass you for money. And I don't believe he can take the car away from you when you need it for work and to take the kids to a babysitter. If you are using the same lawyer (lots of guys like to pull this stunt), don't tell him but go out tomorrow and get your own lawyer that is going to do what is best for you and the kids. You have them to think about, too. Guys like to tell you to use the same lawyer so it doesn't cost as much. Remember that lawyer can only really work for ONE person and that won't be you! Do it tomorrow. You will be glad you did,

Get a lawyer and go after this jerk. Its clear, that not only does he not care about you and the kids by demanding the car, but he is willing to make the children suffer by having to pay for it if you dont give it up. The sooner you get the car listed as marital assets the better you will be.

I don't think so, as there are kids involved. The welfare of the children far outweighs either of you adults needs and as their mother who works, I am almost certain laws protect you from having to do "without." As for him demanding $3000 if you keep the car, "you" regardless of the fact of whether you are on the title or not have legal right to it as much as he does. Consult with an attorney and tell him your dilemma and put a "freeze" on assets until a judge hears your case......

He can demand all he wants but if the was in your possession at the time of the divorce then he must go to court to get it.I doubt any judge will award it to him rather he would probably order it taken out of his name and put it in yours because it is your kids only means of transportation(all of this is hinges on the fact that you are a good parent and there is no way he could prove that you are unfit)...good luck

Since the car is in his name, you will have to provide evidence that you've contributed to the payment of the car. Unless you can do that, there is a high possibility that he can take it legally. The judge may even have that you sell the car and split the funds.
I suggest you get a lawyer.

Well What a heavenly guy..yeah right..Did you marry him like that knowing he was such a waste filled dump...Well, apparently you and the children mean nothing to him.
But remeber what goes around will come around more than once...The lord said..
I think you wont have to give it up meaning your vehicle...he is capable of getting another one..boy!! the judge will take a hard look at him for his generosity..he will probably laugh at him thinking "you're joking man right?" and when he figures out he is not you will soon watch the judge turn into the exorcist.. well, good luck and pray to God that he gets his..Amen!!!

i would pay the money and change the title. get a loan if you have to, but the car is a necessity and i doubt you have the money right now to go out and get a new car. and since it is in his name he has the legal right to take it, unless your state has a community property law (where everything bought while you are married belongs to both of you regardless of whose name it is in) and you will have to go to court. and you will end up either getting the car and paying him or having to buy a new car anyway.

He can demand all he wants. Its up to the Judge here and chances are in your favor due to not being stranded with children. You may end up paying him something in return but thats the Judges discretion, unless you agree to your husbands terms outside the court
