What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York

Separated from wife. I have let my wife use my car, in my name, bought and paid for prior to our marriage, for her needs and to take our son out and about. Its kept where she is presently residing.
There was no title change, or reregistration or anything.
Does my actions in any way forfeit my right to my car in a divorce? Does it create any sort of presumption of transfer of ownership? Does my willingness to do this earn me any points in a court action, or is just considered irrelevent?

MUST you start a new thread for every thought? Can't you combine them so that all the information is in one spot? Earn points? Dude it is not a free throw.

In a divorce, if there are two vehicles in the family, you are both going to be expected to get one of them.

Legally, no.

A court MIGHT see it that way.

Kindness.... but not worth 'points'.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!

Well, heck. The administrators seem to want Family Law questions to be divided.

Call it "points," call it what you wish. I do not understand the system. Its a difficult situation all around.
