Legal Question in Family Law in California
in california, after separation, the judge granted temporary use of a better vehicle which was paid off free and clear to one party while the other party recieved an inferior vehicle to use that has car payments. At the trial is there anyway to make the party whole that did not have the better vehicle during separation for example similar to watts credits on a home?

If the same vehicles are going to remain as was ordered as a temporary order, then there will probably be an offset regarding the value of the vehicles when all of the assets and liabilities are considered. If you are not represented, I suggest that you retain counsel.

Watts credits have been applied to a refrigerator, so I'm pretty sure they can be applied to cars. Award of use is not an allocation of assets. That happens later.
