a couple of questions about divorce with one child

can a wife make the husband pay for her lawyer if he already has one?? If she purposely defaults on a car loan in both of their names will she be able to acquire his car that is only in his name if she has custody of the child and her own income??

A wife can petition the court for attorneys' fees, but the judge determines whether it should be granted. The issues relating to the cars and car loans can be sorted out on the basis of when they were acquired and with what funds. The child custody and income situations are pertinent in divorce but they may not directly relate to the car ownership issue. If you'd like help sorting these issues out, please give me a call.
