My ex was given the truck in the divorce settelment. The fiance company called me a month after the divorce was final and told me the truck was 8 months behind on payments and they were going to take leagle action against us. I called my ex's brohter to have him tell her about it. He told me the truck was in Calafornia, and gave me his brothers number. I called him and he told me they sent out certified letters to me, my ex and to the finance company telling us to come and pick it up they do not want it. I never received it. He also told me he had storage, and mechanic fees attached to it. I told him to let me konw what it is and I will pay him and get the truck. After 3 weeks of him not returning my calls I let my lawyer handel it. My lawyer called and he was told he put a mechanics lean on it and sold the truck for $3500. But there is $26K owed on it.
Can this be done with out me being notified?
Any input on this whould be very helpful.

You have just entered the EX-Zone your best bet is to use your Lawyer no matter what we tell you it will have to be handled by your Lawyer your EX will probably skate out and leave you holding the Bag but you need to get on top of this now if you wait for it to go away it will haunt you and mess up your credit for a long time

Well... you can certainly sue him for damage to personal property. Though I suspect that if you do, your friendship with this person is likely over. But you were rather foolish to expect his car insurance to cover your vehicle. It's CAR insurance, not driver insurance. Auto insurance is issued on the vehicle, not the driver. It doesn't matter if he had his car insured... that policy doesn't cover any vehicle except the one it's taken out on.

Can this be done with out me being notified? - Not legally, however you will have to sue him to do anything about it. Better have another chat with your lawyer. Why do you think you will get better advice here?

File an action of replevin wherein the truck will be delivered to you for repossession because it is a conjugal property which could pay for debts of your marriage with your ex.

if the title is joint or in your name file a stolen vehicle report. if not send a certified letter asking for a copy of the certified mail reciept and send that to the finance company. they cant title what they dont own.
