    How to Get Your Spouse to Sign a Vehicle Over to You During a Divorce
    My question involves a marriage in the state of: Pennsylvania.
    Me and my soon to be ex are going through a no fault here in Pa.. Just signed the last papers and mailed them in so in a few weeks we should be legally divorced .. Now she is on a title of my truck that I own and she just emailed me asking for $1600.00 to help buy my children a car.. I told my children I would help but it's up to me a amount. But she said she will not sign title over to me if I don't pay her the $1600.00.. What can I do or can she come after me for half the truck now that our no fault is almost over ??

    And you didn't deal with the truck in the divorce, why? Because now she owns the truck as much as you do. How much is the truck worth?

    In no fault you are supposed to solve the disputed issues first among yourselves. You didn't do this so you both own a truck together.

    You were going to chip in for the kid's car anyway. How much? The difference between that amount an $1600 is the fee for not clearing this up before you did the paperwork.

    We have no access to the judgment that you drafted for your case, and thus are not in a position to comment on the provisions you included that relate to the division of property. You will have to tell us what you wrote, and what the court enters as a final judgment, before we can comment on whether the language gives you rights to the truck or if your ex- still owns half of the truck.

    Often a simple divorce will state that the parties have exclusive rights to the property in their possession, and that the other will cooperate with the preparation and submission of paperwork necessary to release any claim to the other spouse's property. With such language, you would be in a position to take your ex- back to court and ask the court to compel her to sign an order. Without such language, you may have to negotiate with her to purchase her interest in the vehicle, and it appears that she believes that she has the right to compensation under the terms of the consent judgment.
