Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
civil litigation
In my divorce agreement under personal property it reads: the parties agree that second party(ex-wife) shall have all rights and interest to the 2001 dodge caravan.
The parties further agree the first party(me) shall pay $200.00 per month toward the payment on said vehicle. Upon final payment of said vehicle, the first party shall transfer the title free and clear to the second party within 60 days. The van is in financed in my name. My ex-wife returned the van to me 6 months ago stating she could not pay for it. My question is can I legaly sell it now that she gave ownership back to me. The only reason I want to sell it, is to get it out of my name.

That is a question for your divorce lawyer, who can read the entire agreement and not just one isolated sentence.

To protect yourself, you need to have any modifications to the agreement made in writing. You need to consult with an attorney to have him or her review the agreement and to draft a modified agreement that could best protect you against future allegations of contempt of court or breach of contract. It is better to get this settled now than to have problems later.
