Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Litigation Question

I put my car as a downpayment on a

car that my fiance and I were going to

share. We ended our relationship

shortly after, and I found out that my

name is not on the new car. Do I have

any rights to that money or the car?

You can go to small claims court and try to prove your case, but the most you can get is a judgment for money. One way to enforce a judgment for money is to have the sheriff take and sell the car at auction, but this is expensive and a hassle and you would probably rather go after their bank account or paycheck.
