Re: seprate inheritance was used as down paymentand 1/2 of value of truck
If the truck was purchased during the marriage, it is presumed to be community property and the court can award possession of the truck to you. Unless there was an agreement otherwise or you intended the $15,000 as a gift to her, you should get reimbursed your $15,000 or the value of the truck, whichever is less. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
