You can ask for anything you believe to be necessary to equitably divide the assets.

You really discuss this with your attorney when the case comes to settlement. You may be eligible for alimony from which you can buy a car.

You can request whatever you want. However, generally you are only entitled to half of the assets and half of the debts, so if you get money out of the settlement, you can use that to buy the car. Now, if your soon-to-be ex abused you, committed adultery or some other issues, you may be able to ask for the car as a form of spousal support.

Your question does not include enough facts to provide a response. I suggest you hire a lawyer to review the marital estate and provide you with an answer concerning what you might expect.

There are a lot of facts that go into answering this are there 2 vehicles available? Does your case meet criteria for alimony where you could buy a car if not awarded one? What assets and debts are marital? You need to visit with an attorney, under confidentiality, to share all the facts and get the best advice for your situation. If you are worried about fees, you also need to visit about whether your spouse could be required to contribute to your costs of hiring an attorney.

Only if one is already owned by a party. Generally a Judge will not order a party to go out and buy something.

Is there on in the marital estate? You have not provided sufficient facts to form an opinion and clearly NEED an attorney, or at least counsel to understand your rights, obligations and the anticipated outcome. This is just you future.
