I will be filing for divorce from my husband in a couple of months. We live separate now and I have my own car and he has a truck. Both of our cars are in my name only.(his credit isn't so hot and he couldn't get one in his own name) My car is a lease and he still owes about $32,000 on his truck. He always makes the truck payment but now that we aren't together anymore I want him to get it in his own name. I know I will have to speak to an attorney but I was just wondering if anyone else has gone thru something like this. I am worried because I don't want him to mess up my credit by not paying it or something. I couldn't afford it if I was to take it for myself. I don't want him to say that I can just have it because he doesn't want it anymore. Do you think there is going to be any way that they can make it in the divorce agreement that he has to continue paying and to get the truck out of my name and into his?

If all else fails, just take the truck back and sell it. But honestly, I think since you signed the contract, you are responsible for the payments.
Problem is he has to AGREE to put the truck in his name.

The judge can order that you get your vehicle and he gets his and that all papers need to be signed to that effect. There are still many that will not do that after a divorce and stop paying on the loan. Make sure you have a copy of the key to the truck so that if he stops making payments on the truck, you can go get it. The best thing is to get that done before you even go to court. Just tell him that if he will not get your name off of the loan, you will take the truck in the divorce as well as the car that is in your name.

Yes you can go to the bank or Mortgage company where you got the Truck Financed and have it transferred into his name. You are wise to do this because if he decides later on just to stop making payments, it would ruin your Credit. Your attorney can also have this put into the Divorce Papers that your husband has to put the Truck into his name and within a certain amount of time. If your divorce is Final in 2 months, I would go see my lawyer about getting the Truck switiched to your X Husbands name ASAP. Best of Luck to you..

you are building your credit up based on his payments, for a truck you signed for and the documents list only you as the soul owner, is this correct? you can't get out of this one unless your are willing to co-sign the note and have the contract changed to his name w/you as a backup , but the loan officer will make the final say about this not a court,they still own the truck remember.

Yes you can get it put in his name by the dealership, bank or where ever you have the loan through he would be assuming the loan. and you can also ask for it in the divorce too. you can request anything in it its just whether the judge would grant it. i would talk to an atorney to see what you can do and cant do in a divorce and good luck

Advise your attny, that you wish your name off of his vehicle.
2nd recourse is to sell it, to pay off the loan.
3rd suggestion, have him refinance it. He should have built up some kind of credit for paying his truck bill on time.
