This doesn't seem entirely unreasonably, but you could also fight it. It really depends upon the analysis of all the facts. If this is the only thing you disagree over, it is not worth the cash to fight over it. You should use it to negotiate over other matters. Alternatively, if you still have a vehicle payment, she should continue to make her payment and you can make your payment.
