QUESTION
My husband divorced me without me knowing, I paid the car but it's in his name, can he take it?
Asked on Apr 17th, 2013 on Divorce - California
More details to this question:
I couldn't pass credit so he put it under his name. I have paid it and the insurance. He cheated on me and I took him back, but just found out he divorced me and didn't tell me. He has everything from couch to boat, now wants the car I have been paying for. I even ran his landscaping business doing yards for 8 months so he wouldn't lose his business when he had back surgery. I need my car. Can he take it?

It sounds like you need to set aside the judgment so you can have the court fairly divide the property. Ask for the car to be awarded to you.

If you were never given notice of the Petition, then a Judgment of Divorce should not have been entered against you. I would seek to have it set aside. As for the car, it is community property, regardless of who's name it is in.
