Legal Question in Family Law in California
I am currently going through a divorce. The papers are still being filled out and one of the problems is I dont have enough money at the time for a lawyer and neither does she. She keeps saying she is going to serve me and i honestly I dont care who serves who. Another problem is, is when she left my house she took both of the vehicles. One is completely in her name and the other one is in both of our names. I want the car back, she refuses to cooperate. She wants to sell it, pay off the loan and then split the rest. I am not going to settle for that. I am not leaving this marriage empty handed. Can I take her to court and will the judge rule in my favor as in giving me the car.?

You can go to the courthouse and file an Order to Show Cause asking that you have temporary use and possession of the car. The courts have a family law facilitator that can help you fill out the form. If you are in Riverside County, try the Public Service Law Corporation, a non profit where attorneys donate their time and you can get your matter handled. As for what the judge will do, it is unclear. I do not know all the facts and judges don't always do what you think they are going to do.
