Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Vehicle ownership during Divorce in Texas

I am filing divorce. Both vehicles are in my husbands name. I have the newer one, since I have our 2 year old son. Now he says he is coming to take the vehicle and leave me with no way to go. The old beater truck he has is paid for. The newer GMC in my possession is not. Can he legally take both vehicles and leave me with nothing?

Get a lawyer immediately. In the counties here, (and I assume your county) every divorce petition served, is served with standing orders of the court, forbidding the parties from taking/disposing of property. Your attorney will schedule a temporary orders hearing to get the court to make orders for the pendency of the proceedings.

If you're filing for divorce get a TRO to prevent him from coming around you making threats. Get temporary orders that you keep the GMC. If you don't have a lawyer better get one or you'll be on foot. Good Luck.
