Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Who gets the brand new car?
My husband and I are going through a divorce. We recently purchased a car (before i decided to get a divorce), me being the co buyer and him the buyer. He took off in the car and has changed the locks and installed an alarm so that I can't take it. He hasn't paid the car in 2 months (we've only had it for 3 months) I am concerned about my credit.

What can the judge order him to do? I have heard where the judge can order him to sell the car and split the money....

Any input in appreciated.

Thanks,
Mistie

Re: Who gets the brand new car?

If you have legal counsel, ignore my comments and talk to your attorney!

As you are aware, your credit rating is being ruined. As a co-signer, both of you are reported to the credit bureaus.

Have you called the company that is financing the car and asked them to repo it?

You are probably "upside down" and will owe money if you try to sell it to a 3rd party.

If you have the funds, see if the finance compay will pick up the car and give it to you if you pay the $$ owed.

Good luck!
