What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
My wife and I have been apart for quite some time. We did not file any legal seperation or anything legal yet for that matter. Basically we just made verbal agreements on items, assets and the works.
My question is about the car. We agreed that she would make the payments every month and that I didn't have to contribute. However, in the past month, I was brought aware that she hadn't made a payment in 4 months. I contacted the finance company and also her. She agreed to contact them the following day or so to get the loan up to date. About a month went by and now I find out that not only did she not contact them at all, they also repo'd the car. I have been on the phone with the finance company over the past few days setting up reinstatement with them. She has the keys and refuses to give them to me. Typical. Not only do I need a car, but I'm trying to prevent a reposession on my credit. The finance company will not take her or myself off the contract. I don't have the credit to refinance, nor does she. If I am able to get the car back, will she be able to take it from me later when the divorce is finally under way?
