Legal Question in Consumer Law in Maryland

Re: Financing Obligations

If your ex is jointly on the title, then he is the co-owner of the vehicle as well as the co-signer of the loan. He does not have the right to "repossess" the vehicle. While he could argue that he has an equal right to use and possess the vehicle, in actuality, your "deal" with your ex was that you would make all the payments and maintain 100% possession of the vehicle.

To the extent that your boyfriend now wants to cause trouble and claim that he is entitled to legal possession, or a share of possession, of the vehicle, you would have a very good counter-claim to reimbursement of 50% of the price/loan payments made on the vehicle.

This sounds like you need an attorney to deal with your boyfriend. Keep accurate records, it sounds like one way or the other, you are going to end up in court over this.

I strongly recommend that you consult with an attorney immediately so that you can explore your legal rights, obligations, and options. If you wish to discuss retaining my services, contact me at:
