If there was an "or" between your names she could sign it over without you, and visa versa. If there was an "and" she committed fraud. The DMV will not act as liason in this case. You can order a history on the vehicle from DMV and it will show if she forged your name. You will have to file a lawsuit in order to recieve any compensation for you 1/2 of vehicle value.

No, that's called "jumping the title" among other not so polite things. It isn't yours to sell, just as it wasn't your old friends to sell to you in the first place. The other boxes, as said on the title, are for dealers, not individuals. Go back to old friend and have her put it in her name, which will mean paying a penalty if the title is dated along with being signed. Once she has a clear and current title in her name, she can sign it over to you. Then, once you have switched that title into your name, you can do as you please with it.

Your release of interest is required, unless, in your state the title reads "or". If the title says John Smith and Mary Smith, your signature is required. If it says John Smith "or" Mary Smith, only one signature is required, generally speaking. If the car is listed as a part of the divorce settlement, then he cannot sell the car, unless the car was awarded to him. Check with the DMV to verify the status, and what your options are.

No you both have to sign the title for it to be released to anyone else. It sounds like someone has forged your name. I used to work at a Chevrolet dealership.

Whos name was on the top?
The other name is a rider.
The person that has the name on the top of the title is the actual owner - .
Just like an insurance policy.
If she has the policy and your on it - it's her insurance - not yours.

It depends on state motor vehicle rules. Check with them.

there are two lines
legal owner
Rergistered owner
if she is the legal owner I am sorry but you are out of luck. IF you are the legal owner take her to court.
