Car Signed over to Other

[abysmal_clove]

All right. Four-to-five years ago my parents divorced. Basically, my father -hates- my mother. It started with the fact that she placed an EPO against him due to his threatening of her life. I heard it, and therefore am a witness. It's been around... what, two years? .. since the divorce-divorce happened and finished.

Well, since then my father's been giving me crap about various things my mother does. I'm not sure if he wants to use it as some 'evidence' now that he's suing her. But she had severe pneumonia last year, and was out of work for a while. It's taken her a year and she's gotten better -- but as well they held back her child support for some mundane reason. I'm worried. I was with my father and mother when he told her to sign over the '98 Aurora of hers to him due to the fact that her funds were tough and she was having so much trouble paying off the note.

So, she had a document written, and he <i>knew</i> she had a payment to make on the car, and had it notorized and he signed it. What does he do? Because he can't sell the car, he's now suing her.

He gave the notorized paper to his lawyer and now my mom's being sued. I'm afraid. What's going to happen? Is she in serious trouble? Will she go to jail? What can we do? =/

What does he want?

He wants a number of things. He's suing her over the car, as I had stated. Although it was notorized and given to him and he had signed -- but we're thinking he did that so as to sue her in the near future. I was with them when he told her he knew she had payments to make; and he said if she signed over the car to him then he'll sell it and pay off the payments. My dad holds invisible grudges against my mom. I don't know why, he's just a competitve, and petty person.

~ I don't know how to make it as plain right there, right now. =/ Sorry .

Did your mom sign and notorize the actual TITLE to the car, or a Bill of Sale from the DMV... These are two different things... IF he can't sell the car, it's because the title was NOT signed over properly...

If your mother was still making payments on the car, the bank or dealership where she financed the car still has their name as a lien holder... They will NOT remove the lien UNTIL the payments have been satisfied...

If that is the case, NEITHER your dad OR your mother would be able to sell the car...
