More details to this question:
I am going through a divorce and the car I have is paid for (I have the pink slip), but it is registered in his name. He has our second car which is registered in both our names. My car is in need of costly repairs and I want to trade it for another used car which is in top condition. I put a lot of mileage on the car because of my children's school and outside activities (which he does not pay for).

No. Not without a written agreement from the other side or a court order. There is a restraining order on the back of the summons which says you cannot do that. I suggest you contact the other side with your problem. If you get a negative response, file a request for order and get the permission you need from the court.
