Re: car

If an asset is titled in the husband's name, the wife's name, or both, it will be considered a marital asset, and as such, both parties will have equal rights to it until and unless the Court says otherwise.

Equal rights can mean the equal right to try to keep that asset from the other party. The solution to this problem is to seek relief from the Court to have clear rules established as to which party will have use of that asset and when party will have to pay for it.
