How do we settle disagreements over what car to buy our child?

Jun 14, 2010

Question:

In my divorce decree it states that I pay 2/3 for a car and my ex pays the other third. She wants to give our son an old car with 170,000 miles on it. This car needs to last until our son is 21. I want to buy a car with less mileage. How do we resolve this? If we have to go to court, how do I file for this?

Answer:

Ask a Lawyer: Does she have to refinance?

Oct 05, 2007

Question:

My divorce 3 months ago ended in disaster for me. Go figure. Anyway, she was awarded her car in the end. The decree states she is "responsible for the debt of the car and will hold me free from all payments and debt in connection therefrom." If my name is still on the car note, am I not still responsible for the debt? Doesn't she have to remove my name from the loan?

Answer:

I cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of Arizona as I am not licensed in that State. Generally the family court cannot force someone to refinance a loan (mortgage, car, credit card ect). The parties can agree to refinance or sell in a settlement and the court will sign off on the agreement. I do not see the refinancing of automobiles very often. It is usually the marital residence that is a concern. She is required to hold you harmless from the debt on the loan. If she fails to make payment you can sue her for the payments that you make and any harm to your credit rating. Often you will get attorney fees in this situation.
