Re: Automobile rights
In a nutshell, yes. NY is still a title
state prior to a divorce action being commencedd
and the person in whose name the title stands
controls the asset until a divorce judge steps
in and says otherwise. Which a divorce
judge is able to do, but only after an
action is pending. Very similar to a child
driving a car in the parent's name. At
any time the parent may revoke permission
to use the car.
