Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

In the divorce decree lawyers mediated and we agreed on the vehicle of my ex and the loan on it which were in my name were ordered to be completely changed over to her. Now 2yrs later I just discovered that the registration is somehow in my name again. I only discovered it when I moved and was changing everything to my new address and it had not shown up when I got my new vehicle insurance. Plus I never got any email or mail regarding that vehicle. What are the legal ramifications to handle this situation properly I'm very worried I could suffer repercussions if she does things in the vehicle. In addition wouldn't I need to sign consent to place insurance on the car since I'm the named person on the registration even if she is listed as the primary driver??

I greatly appreciate any advice you could give me. Also all of this is in Virginia.

Thank you

So, have you brought this issue to the attention of your former

spouse and received her explanation for it? (Furthermore, how do

you even know that this change in the names on this vehicle's title was ever

originally carried out since you apparently never signed any change over

registration document that would've been processed by the DMV?)
