Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
My ex and I divorced we had 2 vehicles together and a house. The car I was the co and he was the primary, the truck he was the co and I am the primary, and the house he never quitclaimed my name to the land and my name is still on all the loans. My name is on the title as "and" not as "or". Our divorce decree stated that he shall be sole "possessor" of the vehicles, I should be held harmless and quitclaim my name to the land. The lawyer told him to refinance everything into his name, he didn't. He didn't quitclaim my name to the land either. I am now wanting to deal with him and us agree to each take one vehicle. I am wanting to take the car he has been late 30 days 15 times as well as 45 and 60 days too. He has given the vehicle to someone else and won't tell me where it is, the lien isn't paid off and the bank keeps calling. I want to get one of the vehicles because I need it badly. Do I have any rights to the vehicle? My name is on the title, loan, registration and the vehicles haven't been registered since 2007 either. What can I do? Do I need to talk to a lawyer, file contempt on him, is the car stolen?

Take the decree to your attorney. It needs to be reviewed before these questions can be answered.
