Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
my now ex-bofriend and i purchased a vehicle together in December. we have recently broken up and he kept the truck. while we were together i paid the insurance for the truck and he made the car note. the contract lists me as the buyer and him as the co-buyer. do i have the right to take the vehicle from him, or how do i give up my rights to the vehicle so i will not be held responsible in case he's involved in an accident, or get on my credit if he defaults on the payments?

You are co-owners with equal rights to the truck. Sue him in small claims court to buy you out. He needs to refinance it into his sole name--very important.
