Re: Can my 10 year ex partner father of my 4 children take away my van that is under his name?

if the van was bought during the marriage then it below to the both of you. if you guys have 2 vehicle for the size of your family you need to ask the judge & tell you lawyer that you want to keep the van & he can keep the other vehicle. otherwise how are you going to provide transportation for the children. I was in the same situation but im in Oklahoma...hope this help good luck!

I would definitely have a lawyer review the situation if the vehicle is in the man's name, not yours.

You may also want to be very careful about keeping that vehicle in the mix. The following book shares some pretty tricky scenarios that happened to the author re: vehicles that they and their spouse owned:

If you have a way to start fresh and get one in your own name, even if used, you will probably be much better off in the long run.
