I don't know if I'm anywhere near the right place for this question, so if not, I apologize.
If I have let someone use my car for the last 4-5 years and I now need it back, do they have any legal claim to it? We had been letting my husband's ex-wife use it in lieu of child support payments. They have always kept the state out of their child support dealings and took care of it between themselves. Now she no longer has custody of their daughter and I have no inclination to continue to help her out in any way. The title & loan have always been in my name. I'm wondering if she would have any legal claim to the car whatsoever due to the timeframe and since they say possession is 9/10ths of the law. Can she come back on me at all if I just go and pick it up or report it stolen if she doesn't "cooperate"?
Thanks!
Beth
