Divorce, husband running off to another state soon.. how can i get my car back?

[utopia2004]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA

I need some advice.

My situation is I got married to my husband 1 year ago, he has been cheating on me for 2 months and is now living with her.

We have only one assest, a car which is worth $2500 (used car), I paid for it and can prove it, but its in his name. Would i get the car, or is it 50/50?

He has no money or job right now. He is on probation for another few months. I think once he gets off probation he is going to run off to another state with her. Either take the car with him or sell it.

Hes feeding me alot of lies right now, saying he still wants to be with me, loves me etc and he needs time to get rid of her.. Which i think is all Bulls****.

I think hes trying to string me along until he can move state so i dont divorce him and try to either take the car or get my share of the car back.

So i want to know... If i try to divorce him now, and he contests it, or refuses to sign the papers, how long will it be until i can divorce him and get my share of the car?

Can he just sell the car and pocket the money, if it is being contested in the divorce?

If he skips state with the car, is there any chance of me getting the car if the divorce is not finalised by then?

I know its not much money, but I feel like he wins if he gets to keep that car... which I paid for it!!! And with everything else hes done to me, I dont want him to get away with it.

The other thing is, he wont pay for the divorce, he has no money, so i would have to pay for it...

How have you determined how much the car is worth? Is 2500 what you paid for it? If so, when did you buy it?
Divorce him and ask for the car. You are entitled to half the current value of the car AFTER any debt from the car is paid. Which may not be anything at all.

And even if you get awarded 1/2 of the car you may find it impossible to collect from him without spending more than you could gain.
