Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Kansas

Purchase of a car

I purchased a car from my ex-husbands uncle before he was my ex-husband. At that time, and still today my ex-husband tells me that the purchase price was $1200. his uncle has called me twice after i made the payments totalling $1200 and says that i still owe another $300. At the time we purchased the car he gave us a signed title and i went and put the car in my name and i can produce all the receipts for payments made. Can he come and get my car? Also in the divorce it states that the car is mine? there is no lein holder on the title either.

Re: Purchase of a car

If the uncle repos the car, he is stealing it. You should report the theft to the police, and tell him ahead of time that you will do this.

By the facts you describe, your have clear title to teh vehicle, and he holds no secured interest in it. But, he can still take you to court on the alleged debt. Just because he has no lien on the vehicle, does not mean that he might not be able to prove that you still owe him some money on the loan.

Good Luck
