Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My former wife and I purchased a new car in 2007. Both of our names were on the car loan from Captial One. The 2nd car we got in 2009 only had her name on it. We got divorced last summer and I was left with 75% of the furniture and the car that was purchased in 2007 and $849 per month for 13 months. We sent the divorce decree to Capital One letting them know the car is now mine and in my posession and then I called them and notified them. Now 2011, my ex-wife decides that she wants the car. Can she legally take the car away from me even though it was given to me in the divorce?
1 Answer from Attorneys
No. You should have made her sign a power of attorney to transfer title to the motor vehicle as part of the divorce. This is one of the reasons that people need good attorneys when they go through a divorce. Now you can try to have the DMV transfer the title using a certified copy of your divorce decree as a muniment of title.
