QUESTION
Can I be sued for a car that I don't have?
Asked on Dec 13th, 2013 on Family Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I'm going through a divorce. My wife's grandfather gave us a monetary gift of cash that we bought a car with. He now wants it back. He is saying it was a loan however there is no promissory note or any guarantee or paperwork stating a loan. And it seems like my attorney doesn't believe that it was in fact a gift. Not just that but her grandfather is trying to sue me for the money back when the title is in my name as well as my wife's but he's only suing me. My wife also is in possession of the vehicle itself. Is what he doing in fact legal? And what should I do?

You need to bring a petition in the court you're being sued in to add your wife as an essential party. Once you do that, defend the suit as best you can. He will have a hard time proving it was not a gift without a note or receipt.
