Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
I recently have finalized a divorce, in which we filed without attorneys. We filed a seperation agreement for division of our properties, bills and debts. We have 2 cars and they are both in my name. In the divorce he gets to retain the car he uses, but it isnt stated anywhere in the paperwork what timeframe and if he has to put the car in his name, it only states that If any debts are associated with the items of property divided herein, the party receiving the same shall assume the debt and hold the other party harmless from such debts. Is this something I can have him do or will I have to go back to court for him to get this done? Any information is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Melissa M Gamblin

All you have to do to transfer a car is to sign the back of the title and give the title to him.If the car was owned solely by you, then you should have the title. If you don't, you can apply for a lost title at the BMV.
If your question has something to do with refinancing the debts on the car, and putting the car LOANS in his name, then you have just identified an example of a situation where do it yourself divorce is a problem. You would have to petition the court to change the decree, and require him to refinance. The court is unlikely to do it.
