Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
i would like to divorce my husband but first we need to be separated for a year. I drive a car that was acquired during our marriage which he paid for and has the title in his name. He bought the car for me. He drives another car which he paid for. We have 2 children together and have been married 13 years and live in the state of South Carolina. Am I entitled to keep the car i drive even though he paid for it and my name isn't on the title. Is there any chance that a judge will let me keep the car when we separate?

The Court isn't overly concerned with whose name an asset is titled in, so long as it's in your name, his name or both names. Typically, each spouse receives the vehicle that he/she customarily drives.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
