Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
I know that this is a very difficult situation, but you're proposing doesn't seem likely to make it better. When you say you gave your daughter a car, I assume you mean that the car is titled in her name. As far as the world is concerned, it is her car until and unless a court says that it isn't. It is possible that you could win a lawsuit against your daughter for breach of contract, and possible that a court would order her to return the car to you, but you have no right to simply take her car, any more than she could come along and take your car simply because she claims that she had bought it for you under certain conditions which you violated. Given the apparent animosity between you and your daughter, if you simply tood the car you would likely find yourself arrested for thef.
