Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My wife and I have 2 vehicles. 1 in my name, 1 in our name. Both still have liens against them. We are currently separated, what are my "legal" options of getting the car in my name into my possession, until the divorce goes through, or is filed??

She can sign the Transfer of Title form and then it can be placed in your name only.
However, both vehicles are still community property and will remain that way, even if they are titled in only one person's name, until a final Decree renders the vehicle owned separately by a particular party. The only exception to this is if the vehicle was purchased before marriage. Then, it may be deemed separate property.
Also, any note remaining on a vehicle, is a community debt, and it will remain a community debt, even if only in one person's name.
