QUESTION
Can I remove my estranged husbands fixer-upper car left in my driveway?
Asked on Oct 15th, 2014 on Family Law - New Jersey
More details to this question:
My husband and I have been estranged for over two years. 4 years ago, he purchased an old car that he planned on repairing. He moved out over two years ago and left the car there. I have asked several times and texted several times to have it removed telling him that rodent's living in his car have eaten through wiring in my car causing several thousands of dollars in damage. Now chipmunks are burrowing into my property and the neighbors are complaining. The title is in his name only. Do I have a right to have it removed?

It depends on whether the car is registered, and has a license plate. If it does not, you might be able to just have it removed, and donate the metal for scrap. If it does have a license plate, I think you can call the police, say that the car is parked there illegally, and have the police impound the car. Without some kind of power of attorney you will not be able to sell the car or transfer title.
