Legal Question in Family Law in California

You have two options. One is to file a request, called an OSC, to have the court find the ex in contempt of the court's order/judgment awarding you the vehicle. The other is there is a procedure for having the court clerk sign on his behalf.

Send a demand letter with a copy of the court order to your ex and set out a deadline in the demand to get the pink slip. This document can be used as an exhibit for the court if you have to file a motion
