Sounds like this was not included in your divorce papers. If the truck is in your name, I suggest you go get it because if he wrecks it or causes an accident, it will be on you. As to the money, take him to small claims, show your evidence, perhaps you might win that case. If the truck was in your decree to give to him, then you need to sign the title to him and forget it otherwise he could put you in contempt for non compliance of a court order.
