Legal Question in Family Law in Tennessee

divorce

I filed for divorce in 2001 and gave one of the cars in my name to my ex-husband. I recently found out that he has never had the title changed to his name. Although I gave him the car in the divorce papers and signed the title on the back if he has an accident am I still liable? He drinks and drives all the time and it really worries me. If yes, what should I do? Thanks for your help in this matter.

Re: divorce

You would need to look at your divorce decree or MDA but it sounds like you need to seek a petition to enforce to decree (possibly a contempt charge). If the court order in the divorce provides that the title should be changed to his name, he is in contempt of that order.
