Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I had co-signed with my husband to purchase a vehicle. Once we began the divorce proceedings he decided to keep the car and make the monthly payments. I contacted the financial institution and told them I am no longer making payments and he had taken responsibility. They said once the divorce is final my name will be removed. They are no saying the divorce papers are not enough. Can you please let me know if I am still responsible or if I can be removed? I am trying to purchase my own car, but I can't because of this situation. Thank you.

You will more than likely still be responsible for the vehicle until the car is paid off or refinanced to remove your name from the loan. The bank does not have to abide by the terms of the final judgment.
Good luck.
