More details to this question:
I'm in Florida. I have a construction van that is registered in Pennsylvania which is all in my name. I'm going through a divorce in Florida with my wife. I'm wondering if she would be able to take my van and knowing that is a construction van not a quitter for children.

I think the last time I had this issue, it went down like this. You are on title and could win the argument that it is yours and you can repossess it or take it from her. If the van was bought during the marriage, she has an interest in the value of the van when you are negotiating a property division.

From a strictly legal perspective, any and all assets acquired during the marriage are presumed to be marital assets, and are therefore subject to equitable distribution. As a practical matter, most judges will award business equipment and business vehicles to the person operating the business, and offset their values against other assets.

The van appears to be a marital assets but would certainly be awarded to you if it is your work van.

Your wife can have the van probably only by agreement with you. We need to know all of the facts and get a good grip on the finances in order to answer fully.
