If the car is in her name, it's hers. The DMV record is the Official Record, so I'm saying she owns the car.

Kind of sucks when your insurance fraud comes back to bite you in the butt...

If the crime of forgery has been committed, you should contact the police and criminal prosecutor.

... and ...?

No crime of forgery occurred. OP transferred title of the vehicle to somebody else and said somebody disposed of their vehicle in the manner in which they saw fit.

You have a couple issues there.

It might be able to prove equitable title is yours if you can prove you paid for the car and the only reason it was titled in her name was due to your insurance fraud.

That brings us to the other problem; the insurance fraud. The courts tend to deny assisting a criminal in their actions. If you google "clean hands doctrine", you will be able to understand why a court could (should) refuse to help.


If she signed the pink slip, how is it that you did not register it in your name?


Oh, that's right, you chose to continue the insurance fraud and left it in her name. Not good for you/

Best of luck. The cops won't help because legally, it was her car. The DMV won't help because legally, it was her car. Your only recourse is to sue her under a claim of equitable title. Good luck on that. Maybe some gloves would help??

I was told it was civil not criminal

Perhaps I misunderstood the OP. I read it as she illegally signed his name to release the title from him and put it in her name (a second time). If that is not what occurred, then of course there is no forgery.

Thank you for your service.

You had good intentions, and she screwed you. I'm sorry about that.

I never authorized her to sign my name..she was not my wife

Then that's the criminal part. You can report her crime as justalayman suggested.
