Update Your Profile
It looks like you and your former employer entered into an agreement to store the rig at your home for $200 per day. Since that was four months ago, he owes you over $24,000 for storage of the rig. Because he is going through a divorce, that rig may be community property that the court must decide who it rightfully belongs to. However, he made an agreement with you and has not honored it. I would recommend having a demand letter sent to your employer to settle this dispute so that you are paid for the storage and the rig is relocated. If he is unwilling to respond to a demand letter, you will need to file a breach of contract lawsuit against him in district court to pursue collection of your money.
Your employer and his wife are technically unable to transfer the title to you during the pending divorce proceedings because it likely belongs to both of them and it has not been decided who will ultimately get the rig in the divorce.
