Re: My Truck

Were you married when the truck was purchased? Did you use your income from work to make the downpayment, or monthly payments? If so it is a community asset and would be split upon divorce if there is equity. And if he is not willing to bring it back to you then a judge would have to make that order in the divorce proceedings.
