Can I take the vehicle from my ex-husband that is in my name if he is not paying for it?
Full Question:
Answer:
The liabilities and debts you and your spouse accumulated during the marriage should all have been assigned, paid, or handled in some manner as part of your divorce settlement. The debts should include all credit cards, mortgages, car loans, home equity lines of credit, and other types of consumer loans. If repayment of this car loan was assigned to your ex- husband by the court, he could be in contempt of court by not paying the loan. From a creditor's viewpoint, a debt incurred by both spouses during the marriage or debts incurred on a joint credit card or line of credit during a separation are the responsibility of both people. The creditor does not care how a divorce judgment assigns the debt. The creditor just wants the debt repaid by the people who promised to pay when the lender made the loan.
