I am in a domestic violence situation and I want to leave. Well i am going to leave. The problem is my car is in his name and the state didnt send the title and I have the bill of sale from the person that I bought it from. When I do my restraining order can request possession of the car and the title, with submitting the bill of sale even iif it hand written and when I leave do I need to notify the police and give them the tag number so that if he does report the car stolen that they have that in their system how does that work?

You need to leave. but yes he has all rights to the car no matter what if it is in his name. it don't matter if the bill of sale is in your name, and the title is in his. as long as the title has his name o only then he can take it. sorry for your situation and may god be with you.

Is the car financed? If so - then the finance company has the title.
If the car is not financed - then the title would have been sent to the legal owner (person on the title).
Since this is a domestic violence situation - I encourage you to speak to a domestic violence shelter or group. They will be more versed in how things work in your state and may have some resources to help you out (even if you don't need to live in the shelter). Many groups that provide domestic abuse shelters also provide counseling and legal advice or aid.
Good luck to you.

The police make exceptions all the time for matters of life and death...like a designated driver not having a license, but only going from point A to point B and not out joyriding. Every city, county and state is different though, so check with the police anyway....they could just conceivably come pick you up and take you where you need to go.

The judge issuing the restraining order will probably take care of that for you if you ask.
To have the title officially transferred into your name, you probably will end up having to file for divorce and have the judge award you the vehicle via a court order.

I would suggest getting yourself physically out of this situation as quickly as possible and then sorting out everything else. Some things may have to be dealt with in a court of law. You may need a lawyer. Don't worry about the material things until your safety has been secured.

If the car is in his name he will end up keeping it, since it is in his name. It doesn't matter if you have the bill of sale. I have a cop friend so I'll ask him for more info.

Because the car is in his name... you have to let go to get gone... i know it sucks... but if he isn't cooperative with switching it over to your name - you might be out of luck. a restraining order only restrains him from you - it won't address the car situation... sorry .

If this is all about the car, forget about it. If you want out that bad take your stuff take the car and get to your destination and he fights for it let the police take the damn thing, for all its worth you can take him for half of everything anyway. Don't let the bastard intimidate you.

I don't think you will be able combine your restraining order request with a property order. You should see an attorney about this.

Go to the police and tell them what's going on. If I were you I would get him arrested because he needs to be behind bars.
