It is only in my name, but we bought it during our marriage. Now I have the car and the payment....does he have to help pay?

Nope, it's all yours.

You have the car so why should he pay on something he doesn't have? All of this should have been written into your divorce decree. You're lucky he didn't get it and stick you with the payments. My husband's ex was awarded a car and was responsible for the payments, but it was financed in only my husband's name. She was supposed to refinance it into her name or sell it within 12 months, but she never did either. She was late every month with the payments and now that is on my husband's credit report. After two years of fighting her to make the payments my husband got the usual call that the payment was late. He tried to get her on the phone, but her number was disconnected. He called one of her friends who stated she had left the state and was moving to Colorado. She stated the car had broken down in Arizona and the ex had called the finance company to repossess it! She didn't even have the decency to call my husband and let him know what had happened. My husband called the finance company, got the address of where it was, and had to have it towed back to Oregon, fixed and sell it! He lost big time on that one! Oh well! Live and learn!

If the car became yours as part of the divorce agreement, then it's all yours but if you got the car & he agreed to make the payments or pay half, then it's still your car. That's a question for YOUR lawyer. (he has to get his own) In my divorce, there were 18 payments left, & I asked for the car as part of the divorce agreement. He agreed & he made all the payments & all were on time. We had an amicable divorce & he even paid for the insurance on it until I met someone else & sold that car. We didn't need three vehicles.

From the way you worded the question, it sounds to me like you're wondering if your ex-husband is obligated to pay for a portion of the payment of a car that YOU are driving. If that's what you want, maybe you should move back home.

that would be for the court to decide. It's called community property and they split it up. If you get the car you have to pay for it.

No ...........he doesnt because you have the car . If you settled and agreed that the car is yours then you have to make the repayments.
