The divorce papers should have specified who owned the car. The loan company is not required to eliminate anyone who signed for the debt. The existing debt should not impact your ability to renew the plates. if the car is owned by you both, then you may need to go back to Court to get an order allowing you to title it in your name once the loan is paid off.
