Separation, buying a car?

[xzenor]

What is the name of your state? California
The wife and I are in the midst of a legal separation. When its all said and done, Im afraid I'll be without a dependable car. She will be taking over the car payment for the "dependable car".

My question is, how do I go about getting my name off her car, and buy myself something for myself?

You need your name off the title, or off the loan? If its off the title, do a transfer, if its off the loan, she will need to refinance.

Thanks for the quick reply. This complicates things a bit. Wow, this sucks!! To bad her credit sucks, I'll have to buy with cash I guess.

Is there a way I could make sure to be very specific in the Separation Paperwork stating The individual is responsible for "Auto-Van-xxxx" Car-Car type-Loan Number-VIN Number, etc. And have it signed by a Court Justice.

I read in another forum that it may work and will help my credit also.

Any replys will help out, Thanks.

A creditor IS NOT a party to your divorce and therefore is NOT bound by the divorce decree/court order. You are responsible for the court order YOU signed with the lender.
