Repo Man

What is the name of your state? FLORIDA

Per my setllement papers with the x, she is to pay me a lump sum for a vehicle that I have paid the notes on for 3 years. I let her take this vehicle over a year ago, she has paid nothing to me, Now that I have the title souly in my name, spare key in hand, can i legally show up in the night and drive away????

No. You should file a civil suit against her in order to recapture the amounts due to you per the settlement agreement/order.

THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY IN MY NAME, I HAVE THE TITLE IN HAND!
WHY GO THROUGH THE BS IN COURT? WHEN THE COPS ARE CALLED CANT I JUST SHOW MY TITLE. IS THERE ANY PAPER SHE CAN FILE IN COURT TO NOT ALLOW ME TO GET THE VEHICLE?

THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT STATES EXACTLY, SHE GETS THE VEHICLE BUT SHE ALSO PAYS THE BALANCE OF 5,000.00 TO ME.
SHE DID NOT AND HAS NOT. I WILL NOT SIGN THE TITLE OVER TO HER SO WHY CANT I ACT LIKE A BANK AND REPO THE VEHICLE???

Don't get your caps lock in a dither. Go ahead, then. Take the vehicle and wait to see what happens.

You speak as if your registered in the state of Florida. whats going to happen?

Who knows? Maybe you should ask a FL lawyer. Who won't be able to tell you exactly what would happen, either. If you take the car, and she files a report - you'll both likely have your day in court. And the judge will decide who's right.

The smarter thing to do would be to file against her for contempt of the court order.
