Automobile titles in a divorce?


OK, he gave her the car in the divorce. It was in both of their names, it is in the decree that she got it. She called him last night and said that there are papers from an attorney that he needs to sign. She called again and I answered with her telling me that he needs to sign some papers in regards to an automobile. He told her that he would not sign any papers and he would only sign the car title. He asked her if she wrecked the car. She did not say. Well, we found the police reports on the car accident. They have been divorced for over a year, would he need to sign any papers about this car other than the car title? It clearly states in the divorce decree that she was given the car and responsiblity for it.

If it is in the divorce decree, she assumes all responsibilities for the car. The judge always looks at all the assets and debts and divides them so even if there was a loan on the car, she would have had to "buy out" his half by giving up another asset or actually paying him his half. She would have to get the loan in her name. The finance company needs a copy of the decree and he needs to sign the title.

If he signed over the car title, that should be the end of his responsibility unless there was an outstanding loan on the car
