    Default Removing Former Spouse's Name from Car Title

    My question involves real estate located in the State of: Florida
    My former spouse and I purchased a 2000 Toyota Camry in 2005. We financed the car and both our names are on the auto loan and the title. We were separated in November 2006 and divorced in July 2007. My former spouse moved back to her native country in Chile where she resides to this day. I was able to get my name on the loan and hers was removed. However, both our names are on the title (title in bank's possession until pay-off). Between our names on the title is the word "And", making us co-owners of the vehicle (divorced or not).

    The trouble is, I am approaching payoff on the vehicle, and I realize I will not be able to sell it without her signing off on the title. Due to a bitter divorce, she has refused to answer emails and other means of communication. Furthermore, I don't know her current address or phone #.

    Is the solution "power of attorney" or "Quiet Title" or do I need her signature no matter what. I live in the state of Florida. Thank you!

    Ideally this would have been addressed in your divorce judgment. You should consider going back to the divorce court for a post-judgment order authorizing you to sell the car without her signature; I suspect your chances would be better if you retained counsel, and a local lawyer may also have other suggestions.
