More details to this question:
I'm trying to purchase a financed car. My husband lent me the money but now has regretted the decision and wants his money back because he moved out of our house and is now divorcing me. At the time of deal, he gave dealer a cashier’s check with both our names on it, but I am the only one who signed contract for car. Who gets the deposit back and can dealer split money? Who gets the deposit?

The funds appear to be marital assets subject to equitable distribution in the divorce process. You (as well as the car dealer) should consult legal counsel before proceeding further.

It makes sense that since the other put up the money, the other should get the deposit back.
