What is the name of your state? Illinois
During the marriage, STBX and i purchased a vehicle and her grandfather co-signed on the loan. Obviously, we both had our own Keys, and he has taken hers and states that he will give it back, if i refinance the vehicle, or pay it off, but until then he's holding it"in case he has to take it back" Her attorney is also advocating this position, even though I have never missed a payment, and have been the sole operator, and maintained the insurance on the vehicle since it was bought 2 years ago.
His name is NOT on the title, myself AND STBX, and the Bank is listed as the Leinholder. It is registered and driven in the state of Arizona, and I have a signed and notarized document from her releasing claim to the vehicle by STBX. My question is, since he is not on the title of the vehicle, and is basically holding my property ransom, is this criminal theft, and if so, are there also repercussions for her attorney advocating this situation?
