Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My divorce papers say that any assets or liabilities or sole title's in his or her possession is theirs and the other party has no legal rights or responsibilitis. Does the ex have any rights to my car (which is in his name) since it's in my possession and make the payments

It's his car because it's titled in his name. If you are not on the loan, stop making payments and give him the car. It isn't yours. If you are on the loan, it's still not your car but if you stop paying the loan and he doesn't pick up the payments, both of you can be held responsible for the loan by the lender. Are you certain there's not another paragraph that specifically mentions the car?
Unless he transfers title to you all you have is an equitable lien since you are making payments. Go back to the judge to clarify.
Have a lawyer review your divorce papers.
