Legal Question in Family Law in California
Automobile
I am seeking a legal separation. The separation is pretty clean cut. No children, no property (house). However, I have an auto (2004 Acura TL) that is in my name. I've asked my spouse to get it in his name. Can't because he has a lien on his report. Can I still legally take the car away from him? I am the registered owner. If he gets into an accident they will come after me. Any suggestions?

Re: Automobile
Normally you cannot transfer a vehicle on which there is a lien. Also so long as you are the owner or one of the owners of the vehicle you will be liable for any accident which the vehicle is involved. Either get the vehicle under your control or he demand that he pay the existing loan.
