Legal Question in Family Law in Utah
My soon to be ex-husband and I are going through a divorce right now. One concern that I have is that he is trying to fight for the car, which was mine before we got married. I got the car before we got married, and started making payments on it....and then after we got married we made payments together as a married couple. The car is in my name only on the title. Can he count the car as a "marital asset" because he did help make payments on it during the marriage, or is it considered MINE since it was mine before, and in my name only?????

It is a mixed question. Since both of you made payments on the car it is partially a marital asset, however, since you owned it prior to the marriage you have some priority. IT will probably depend on how many payments were made while married.
