I'm with fr_chuck, you can save the money (do not pay), and let it hurt your credit a bit. Otherwise you pay the price for a good credit rating and she keeps the car as a bonus. I am so sorry there are such users, liars and cheats in the world.

This varies state by state. In some states you are allowed to owner retain you vehicle.  Check with your state insurance commissioner

I have a question?  Are you talking about mortgages or cars or what?

I wouldn't purchase another one, until the divorce is finalised. Rent until then, they buy one....or if you can't wait, put it in someone else's name until the divorce is final. if it's a nasty divorce, they could try to go after half of it, just to be dirty.

Major black mark on your credit record. It will make it hard to get another loan or you might have to get a car loan for a much higher interest rate.\n\nThere is no pro unless you are suing the company that sold you the car and even then, I would wait to see the outcome of the court case!

Talk to a lawyer.  You're going to have to sue, but you should be able to get your car back if you act before his creditors seize it or he parts it out.

If you are both on the title and the vehicle is being paid for he can't repo your car.  If the payments are behind on the car and he is a co-signer he can have the car sequestered from you.  More importantly, if you are behind on payments and the finance company is after it, you'd better give it up.  Its called a Writ of Sequestration, a constable comes and gets it and if you don't turn it over you get to go tell a judge why your not giving it up.

Is the car worth $8000 now or is that what you paid for it?\nAlso do you still owe anything on it.  There are a lot of variables.  I filed last year in California and our attorney who handled it answered a lot of the questions for us.  That is what you pay them for.  Most of the time you can also low-ball the value.\n\n  Our attorney looked up the lowest blue book and then asked if there were problems with transmission or if tires were due to be replaced etc and kept deducting values until it fit.  \n\nAlso if you have an active account you don't always have to include it in the bankruptcy.  Especially if it is your only car and you need it for transportation to work/doctors, etc.  My husband and I had both lost out jobs within 2 weeks of each other which prompted our bankruptcy.  But my son has chronic health issues so we were able to extend what assets we kept.\nGood luck.\n\nAdded noted:  in reference to below, personal property.  They will ask you to list the value of your wardrobe, any jewelry, appliances, electronics, furniture, even kitchenware... as to what you might get out of them if you sold them to try to pay back your debts.  Fortunately they will usually go by 'Yard Sale' values.  Just keep that in mind when you try to determine what they determine as your total value.

As for a lien on your vehicle...it will have that right on the title if there is a lien on it and who has the lien on it, also IF there is a lien on that vehicle, someone somewhere is paying the payments on it or else who ever is the "lien holder" will find it and take it and nothing that you can do about it. If there is a lien on it, you can NOT sell it. If there is no lien on it, that is a good thing.\n\nAs far as selling it...well that is something that you will have to take up with your lawyer, not knowing what is said on the divorce agreement. You might or might not be aloud to sell it.

Negative. Your credit reports remain two seperate entities when you are married. Reports do not transfer until you both have your names signed on a debt, like a home or a car.

Does the current wife own the house? If yes then of course, if he's the owner then he'll have to give her permission, but of course can still be done.  The state would only be able to collect what was owed, and since he was up to date that wouldn't be much that he's behind.

Just include manufactor, the model, the year, the cost etc of the car.  Just as the person above said, "details of the car".

If you're married, you'll get BAH, which will pay for rent wherever your wife is staying.  You'll have to pay for your car yourself.

Car of my dream, of course!  You can always trade in the car once its old and get a better one, but you can't do that with your wife...... or can you????

It would be best to wait until you lease your next car. Should have put lease in both your names.

They will make both of them pay for the car but she can file bankruptcy and include the car as part of the bankruptcy.  The trustee will tell her how much to pay on all of her bills.  She will then send the payment to the trustee and they will distribute the payment amongst all of her creditors.  Good luck.

Man do I disagree with most of this advice!\n\nFor starters, any debts that occured before you got married are not suddenly "shared" with you.  They are his debts.  The way it's going to effect you is if they (for example) try to repo the home or car.  If you are living there, you lose the home.  But what else did you expect?   It's his home, bought under his credit.  \n\nNow, if you come into this marriage with your home/car they can NOT touch it.  His name is not on the contracts, and in most states they can not place a lien on it unless his name is jointly on it.\n\nYour credit does remain uneffected.  Any property you own (unless in a community property state) is still yours and can't be touched by his creditors.  \n\nWhen I got married, my wife came with a lot of "debt baggage", and creditors were hounding her something terrible.  But I know the law!  I put an end to that harrassment, and they couldn't touch ANY of my property or hurt my credit at all.\n\nI spent the next 2 years rebuilding her credit by co-signing on credit cards and a car loan. Now her credit is better then mine!  \n\nI will suggest that he get the bankruptcy before you get married so you can get a fresh start as soon as possible.
