Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri

My daughter and her "then" fiance jointly purchased a car for my daughter to drive. Since my daughter's credit is poor the fiance is the primary on the loan. The loan was set up to be autowithdrawn from his account. Both names are on the title to the car. My daughter has soley made all car & Insurance payments. When the couple broke up my daughter had the auto withdraw moved to her account, while the ex purchased a new vehicle, since he did not want her to access into his bank account. Now he is threatening to repossess/take the car, because she is unable to refianance the car soley into her name. And he has been told that he can not get a student loan because he has to much outstanding debt. The problem is made worse because he works for a local police department. What can my daughter do?

It sounds like the best option for yoru daughter is to either give the car back or have her parent(s) assist with refinancing. If his name is on the loan, then he has a right to teh vehicle. She can maybe get half the money she paid to the lender from him. This may alter his opinion about wanting out right now.

Good luck
