Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
auto problem
My ex girlfriend and I have a vehicle that both the loan and the registration is in both of our names. It is in her possession and shes current on the payments. I want her to take it out of my name, she's stubborn and won't do it. What are any and all of my options to make this happen?

Your name can be removed from the loan only with the consent of the lender, which is not likely to be given. The same applies to the name on the title.

Well, partition lawsuits, usually used to break up co-ownership of real estate between dissenting part owners, can also be used for personal property such as vehicles. The cost probably would be prohibitive. You might consider threatening her with such a suit, or even filing one to get her to the bargaining table on the assumption that she'd probably settle rather than mount a costly defense. That's about all I can think of. You should probably make sure the car is insured and that you are covered as far as any personal liability.
