What is the name of your state? Georgia
The court awarded me a RV (old 1997, and doesn't run) that was purchased during the course of our marriage as payment for part of a debt owed to me by my ex. He finally handed over the title to it and I went to get it transferred in my name. When I got to the Title Office they said I could not transfer the title since the title was never transferred to him originally. He purchased it back in 2014 and has signed and dated the back of the original title when he got it. So, I gave it back to him and told him he has to complete the original transfer and then sign over the new title to me in order to complete his obligation. He said that he would not do it and that I had to pay all the taxes, late fees and transfer fees to get the title transferred (which is now over $900.00), because I was awarded it in the divorce.
I know in the state of Georgia he was required to transfer the title within 30 days of purchase back in 2014 (which I'm sure he knows since he was a used car salesman when I met him). I'm not sure what legal steps I need to take next in order to get this taken care of, do I take him to small claims court for the amount of money it will take to transfer the title correctly. I know if I go back to my lawyer to try to get this matter resolved it will cost me more in legal fees, which I don't have and if I knew he didn't follow through with the transfer originally I would have already stated it as a requirement in the divorce settlement.
