What is the name of your state?illinois
My husband and i have been married for 4 years, My husband has been very secretive we arent allowed to have joint checking accounts or credit cards or anything joint he says because it cna ruin our credit. Recently we bought a new car and because of my bad credit only he could be on the car, apparently while i have been paying for all the extra stuff he was making his credit good and isnt able to help me with mine. Anyways, my question is if the car is in his name is the car his or ours? he thinks because hes the only one on the paperwork that it is his car. When he gets angry with me he threatens to call the police on me if i touch the car. Can he do that ( call the police) or am i entiitled to the car after all i do pay half the car payment? He never lets me use the car either, do i need his permission to use the car or am i entitled to a set of keys of my own? I just want to know so he cant use this against me anymore, and if it is his car then am i obligated to pay for the car to?
Thank you
sorry so many questions

"As a general statement, all property acquired by either spouse during the marriage is marital property...It makes no difference how title to the property is held."

What will the police do/say if he calls them? I really don't have a clue. Technically, it is considered martial property, but if it's in his name only... Maybe someone else here can advise you on that. I'm kind of curious to know myself.

Are you entitled to a set of keys to the car? I doubt he's going to give them to you.

Are you obligated to make half of the car payments? Well, if it's in his name only, then it's only going to ruin his credit if the payments aren't made.

The question that begs to be asked:
Why are you with someone who treats you like that?????

If your husband calls the police and says, "my wife took my car," chances are they won't do anything about it because they will consider it a domestic dispute. If he lies and says that his car was stolen, and doesn't mention that it was you, he could get into trouble for filing a false report. I really wouldn't worry about it.

I agree with panzertanker. Why are you with this loser? Dump him!

I was kind of wondering the same thing myself...

I agree, and really you aren't going to leave him because a few strangers on the net said you'd be stupid not to, but car's in his name, he won't let you drive it, you don't have access to it, and you have your own bills to pay....don't put another dime into the car....not payment, not gas, not repair, not insurance, nada,

take care of yourself, he's taking care of himself, who's taking care of you?
