We both are on the title of the car. I am afraid once he comes to get the vehicle, I will never see it again. Can I hide the vehicle until we reach an agreement on the title?

Who are "we"? You and your husband?


I am afraid once he comes to get the vehicle, I will never see it again.
Why would he be coming to get the car? Why wouldn't you ever see it again?


Can I hide the vehicle until we reach an agreement on the title?
We have no knowledge regarding what abilities you have. If your intent was to ask if it would be legal for you to do this, we have no way of knowing that either because you gave us no background facts or context whatsoever. Please do so, and we can then try to provide you with useful responses.

If you are on the title, you own the car. If you and someone else are both on the title, you both own the car.

I apologize, "We" , my ex partner and I lived together, unmarried. He wants the car and is insisting I sign the title over to him, without any compensation for my half of the vehicle. I am asking, if I move the vehicle to an undisclosed location until he agrees to settle this with me in good faith and fairness, is that legal? Neither of us would drive it until we can agree on terms. Thank you for your response

If you are coowner of the car, you can drive it and park it somewhere.

What were the terms you agreed to when you purchased the vehicle? Is there a balance owing on the car?

Who was paying for the car? who paid for upkeep of the car? Who was using the car on a daily basis?

He bought the car for me to use, I have been driving it and he drove our other vehicle. The loan is in his name, titled in both our names.
So he is making the payments/paid in full? The car is his and while you were together he allowed you to use it. I would give it back.

That would be the right thing to do, but there isn't necessarily a legal requirement to do so.

I see, well, it's a bit more nuanced than that. But, thank you for your opinion.
My opinion is that it is your car as much as it is his. You can choose to let your ex-sugar daddy keep paying for it, or you can give it back so he can sell it to recoup some of the cost of the car (if he so desires).

Ok, so you own a car jointly with your ex-boyfriend.


He wants the car and is insisting I sign the title over to him, without any compensation for my half of the vehicle.
I assume he has not explained to you why he thinks you should do that or why he's entitled to it. Correct?


I am asking, if I move the vehicle to an undisclosed location until he agrees to settle this with me in good faith and fairness, is that legal?
Based on the facts you have now provided, the answer is yes.

Note that, since the title is in both of your names, it matters not in the slightest who has paid any expenses relating to the car. Of course, if no one makes payments on a loan for the car, then the lender will seek to repossess and sell it.
