Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Hello,

I am 27 years old and recently moved back home with my parents. My father cosigned on an auto loan for me in 2009, but the title and registration are only in my name. I have made consistent payments for 2 years and my parents have only helped me with one single payment recently. They are now threatening to take my car from me as they are not in agreement with who I am choosing to date. My question is, are they legally able to just take my car from me because my father cosigned?

If the title and registration is in your name, no one can take the car away from you but the financing company. You can drive the car provided you make timely payments. However, your parents are not obligated to provide you with food and shelter. Maybe you should reconsider your social interactions and listen to the voices of wisdom.
