Legal Question in Family Law in California
If me and my husband are currently seperated, our divorce being finalized in May 2011, can I sell or take his name off the title of a car that has both our names on it without his permission? It says "my name or his name".

No, absolutely not. When you filed or were served with the original divorce petition, depending on whether you filed or he did, you immediately became subject to a set of automatic restraining orders that are listed on the Family Law Summons. One of them prohibits selling any community or quasi-community property without the other party's consent or a court order.
