Can I repossess a vehicle for non-payment that was awarded in a divorce decree? Would it be legal to do so as the lienholder or by exercising indemnification? Exact wording from decree, "That the wife shall be entitled to the ownership, use, and possession of the (left out vehicle description) which is currently titled in the name of the husband. Further, the husband agrees to execute any and all documents necessary, if any, to transfer the title of said vehicle to the name of the wife. Further, the wife shall be responsible for any remaining indebtedness associated with said vehicle and shall indemnify and hold the husband harmless therefrom."
 
If you transferred the title to her as required, it is no longer your vehicle and no, you can not take something which is not yours. If the car had not been refinanced to a loan with just her name on it, it should have been.
