Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

car issues

I bought a car with an ex boyfriend. He is the main signer, but I am the cosigner. I have paid all the bills since then and driven the car since we split up a year ago. Now he wants to sell it without my ok. Since I am the cosigner, can he still sell it?

Re: car issues

Yes, he can sell the car. After all, he is the owner of the vehicle. That you agreed to be his "back-up" person for the benefit of his lender in the event he defaulted on the loan he obtained in order to buy the car to begin with does not make you an "owner" of the car.
