Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin
Co signers
Ok I am not sure how to begin this, My girlfriend was sued by her ex because he co signed on the loan for her car.... he was NOT on the title of the vehicle at all nor was he on the original sales reciept.
So my question is how can a court of law actually make her give him the car? Because I don't understand how they can when hes not on the title when the title proves ownership correct?

Co Signer (But Non-Owner) Getting Possession of Car
When people do not stand up for their rights in court, anything is possible, no matter how wrong it may seem. Your girlfriend probably consented to a settlement agreement which allowed the judge to give the car back to the Ex-boyfriend/co-signer. Even if she did not agree, she may have missed court, which allowed the judge to grant the request of boyfriend to give him possession of the car due to nobody objecting to his request. There are also various legal theories which could justify such relief, such as proof of a quasi-contract or constructive trust.
