In Texas, After I pay the car off, I heard I can take the title to the DMV and have her name removed. Is this true? Does she have to be present to sign? In the decree I get my car and she gets hers. Our names were on both cars.

Call them to verify, but after it is paid off you can bring in the divorce decree and show them to have her name removed,

Take your divorce decree and the title after you pay it off to the DMV. Once they see your documentation which should state that you take possession of your vehicle. The court ordered divorce decree which she signed removes the need for her to sign the title again (but i'd call your local DMV just to make sure). They can take her name off the title.

If you truly got your car in the divorce decree, then you would have had to refinance under your name only. If you didn't do that, then shame on you & your lawyer. Once your car is paid off, the title will be in BOTH names unless she signs off on it. Your lawyer should have taken care of this for you during the divorce.

Most likely she has to be their, because it is in both your names, but in Florida on the title the second person can sign it and all you have to do is take it to DMV, best way is to contact DMVDirectly, and see on best prosses.

The way I had to do it was this...I had to have him sign the back of the title signing it over to me. I believe I had to sign it as well. Then I went to the DMV and gave it to them. I think I needed to pay some nominal fee and wait for the new title to be sent back to me.

Most likely she will have to sign off on the title, but she does not have to go with you to do it. She can do it before a Notary Public or equivalent official at any time.

Call the DMV and ask them. Each state is different and hearing from other people and listening to 'us' might direct you to do the wrong thing.

You definitely have to get her to sign the title and the title change form and she doesnt have to be present. But once she signs it, you can change the title to whatever you want, as long as you provide proper documentation.

From my understanding it depends on how your names are listed on the title to determine whether or not you can take it off or if she has to be present. If it says John AND Jane Doe she will probably have to. If it says John OR Jane Doe then she probably will not have to.
