Re: who gets the car?

The person who has their name on the title of the car is the owner of the car.

If both names are listed, then you both own the car.

If only his name is on the car, you definately have a problem. Who pays is irrelevant as to who legally owns the vehicle.

Happy Thanksgiving!
