Im in the army and the car loan is in my name and I make the payments on it. We have a joint account but only my checks gets deposits into and her checks goes into a different account in her own name. Does she have any rights to the car if we divorce?

How is the car titled? If it's in both your names, you have a problem. If it's in just your name, it's your car.

However, she might be entitled to be compensated for a part of the equity that has accrued during the marriage. Both your incomes are marital assets regardless of having separate accounts for your earnings.

Try the following link. It has several sources of information about division of assets including a link to the statute:
