I haven't been served yet, can I take my husband's truck

[CJane]

"Physically"? Do you mean as opposed to "spiritually"?

"Transportation"? What about the wife's means of "transportation"??!!!!

"Location"? Are you arguing that the whereabouts of a given item of marital property is a factor in determining spousal possessory rights?

Do you find it insignificant that the OP makes no mention of the existence of a pendente lite TRO giving the husband exclusive use of the bloody truck?

My god, calm down.

1) I WAS AGREEING with you when I said "this" in my post.
2) I'm not ARGUING ANYTHING AT ALL. Certainly not that the location of the property has anything to do with possessory rights. But there's a HUGE difference between "if the truck is in your driveway, it's perfectly ok for you to drive it wherever you wish" and "If the truck is in a storage locker, you should go demand access and take it".
3) It is absurd for two (supposed) adults to play "who can steal the truck today?". If he doesn't have alternate transportation and she goes and takes the truck, he's going to report it stolen and she'll have THAT hassle to deal with, or he's just going to show up at her place of employment and take it back. Then she's going to show up wherever the truck is and take it. Ad nauseum. If he DOES have alternate transportation, perhaps something could be worked out for the duration of the divorce process.

This unfortunately, isn't a "nice" workout situation. I figure calling the police to let them know the situation would solve the stolen truck report. Thank u kindly for ur reply.

The same police who wouldn't let you file a complaint when he allegedly destroyed your vehicle? Are you going to call the police in every jurisdiction you might be driving through on any given day and tell them "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that my husband might report the marital truck stolen, but it's not. I have every right to drive it. So just ignore the reports."?

insurance

Ok I was told to leave all questions with my original post, so hopefully I'm doing this right. I have 2 displaced ribs and a fractured elbow caused by my soon to b ex. Would it b reasonable to request to b left on his insurance until the injuries r taken care of? And would a judge even consider that request? We live in Texas.

Lol no we live within ten miles of each other in adjoining counties and never venture outside of either. Work live and play in the same place. I can't speak for the police in the county of bleach land. Thank u for ur reply.

ummm....how old are these injuries??

What further care do you need?
And did he face domestic assault charges? If not, WHY?

Please don't tell me the cops wouldn't respond, or wouldn't do anything...

 

[CJane]

Hold on.

He beats the crap out of you, causing some fairly serious injuries. He destroys your vehicle.

But you're waiting for HIM to file for divorce, and thinking it'd be a great idea to poke this particular bear with a rather large stick, and go "steal" his truck?

And your BIGGEST concern is whether 1) you can do the above and 2) you can stay on his insurance?

No, he didn't beat the crap out of me. I fractured my own elbow in the beginning. It was almost completely healed up. I had some jewelry in my hand during an argument & he grabbed my hand and clamped down and twisted my arm refracturing the old injury. Yea, the cops were called but nothing was said, like numerous female idiots before me. I know, I know...

Yes, he's a bear. 280 to my 125. And the ribs, I was pushed backwards and fell on a chair. The procedure per doctors orders, is a monthly body to a chiropractor to work them back into place.

You are aware that you can file a police report without pressing charges, aren't you? Even if they aren't too keen on you doing so, it IS allowed.

(I'm not rolling my eyes at the injury, but the course of treatment).

Here's what you need to do, RIGHT NOW.
1) stop worrying about the truck and the insurance
2) get your arse an attorney and FILE FOR DIVORCE
3) Get you arse to a therapist/counselor

Everything else is not relevant. You are letting the situation control you, instead of controlling the situation.
Don't have any contact with him. Get yourself to together woman!

What evidence do you have that the injuries were caused by your husband? It is marital debt. When YOU ask for divorce, ask for a restraining order so that he cannot drop you from insurance.
