Legal Question in Family Law in California
My ex boyfriend of 8 years have recently seperated for the reason being that he had an affair, we have 2 kids together and he is not currently helping me with any support, even though he sees the kids. just a few months before the seperation, we traded my car to get him a new car, and his old car was given to me. both cars are under his name, but i pay for insurance every month, maintanence on the car and now that registration is due, im will be paying for that. i have asked him to put my name on the registration, but doesn't want to do so until i sign a legal document stating that he will have my kids 50/50. now my question is, being that the car was given to me, but is under his name, do i have any rights to the car, and how do i go about getting mine name on the registration since he doesnt want to add me?

The larger question involves how to proceed with protecting the children. File and serve your paternity petition with a motion requesting custody, visitation and support.
