Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Back in 2008 my husband and I lent our son and his fiance $6000. They used $5000 of that money to put a down payment on a car. They financed another $5000. The paperwork on the vehicle I quess was in both their names, but said and/or. She had financial responsibility on that vehicle. At the end of 2008, they started paying us back the $5000 that they borrowed from us. They made 3 payments totaling $900. They still owe us $5100. My son's fiance just broke off their engagement and went behind his back and paid off the financed portion of the car and had the title put in her name only. My question to you is, what can either my son or my husband and I do to get the additional $5100 owed to us from his ex-fiance?

Your husband has a claim for the money lent. Hopefully it is in writing. Re what claim your son has re the car, you will need to look at the paper work. If the title according to the paper work was to be in both names, then someone did something wrong. He may also have an unjust enrichment claim. Want to know the law?
