My Best Friend Divorce

[freiajean1]

I have a question that needs answering please, My girl friend filed for divorce May of this year and before the divorce her husband purchased her a car and was making payment for about a year now until he received the divorce papers the car was a gift to her but he was paying the payments and the car was in his name also. Well as of last night the car was repo. She goes to court Wed for the divorce proceeding. Can the judge make him pay the balance and get the car back for her, she is on disability and has doctor appointments. What will the judge do? Thank you in advance!!!

Nobody can guess how the judge will rule.

However, if the car is in his name - ie, on the title - it's highly unlikely that the court will give her the car and leave him responsible for payments.

She needs to find alternate travel arrangements. Or, expect to get the car transferred to her name so she can pay herself.
