marital property????

What is the name of your state? indiana
can my husband leave me today, and take the car that i bought before the marriage? a car i'm still paying payments for? the police officers i spoke with said he could take it because it was community property. i'm stranded with 3 children and no transportation!!! can't afford an attorney. can someone please help me with some good information ???? what do i need to know about this situation?

To whom is it titled? If you bought it before the marriage and have kept it seperate property, it is NOT automatically marital property.

Thank You so much for your reply. The car is titled solely to me. His name is not on anything pertaining to the car. I guess that makes all the difference... I am however a little fuzzy on the sentence in your reply regarding the adoptive parents??
Anyway, Thanks again!!!!!

Good luck.

" I am however a little fuzzy on the sentence in your reply regarding the adoptive parents??"

That is my "signature" line - it automatically appears in all my posts and has nothing to do with your answer (thus the line seperating it). Many "regulars" have various signature lines.

Mine is a reminder that the parents of adoptive kids are no less "real" than a bioparent is. You have no idea how inappropriate the adoption community sees the use of terms like "real daughter" or "real mom". MY daughter is plenty REAL.

Thanks so much for explaining that for me. I'm a little dense about these sites, due to my "first timer" status.. lol
I would like to say; Hoo-rah for you!!! That is a very commendable position you're taking, and I for one totally agree.
Thanks again for your imput regarding my situation. You were very helpful. Good luck to you also.
