family law

I am separating from wife and I purchased a car with my wife under the conditions that I get rid of my van. She gave me her old car if I used my name to purchase a new car together. I was in an accident where the car was totaled, and since the car was in her name, she is keeping the settlement of $9500 plus the new car. She refuses to let me have the new car;nor, will she give me any of the settlement funds to use as a down payment for another new car. Do I have any rights to taking the new car? I can't buy another car because my name is on the new car and she won't refinance to take my name off. How can I proceed? I can take over the payments but she won't give me the car. I have to use a rental which is too expensive. I can't ride my bike to work because I limited time between two jobs. help...

Re: family law

If your still married to your wife then all assets including any cars in her name only is actually 1/2 yours. You need to get a divorce (instead of slowly thinking about it) and get this matter taken care of in the divorce.
