So you are getting divorced in the state of Alabama.  Your spouse has managed to get possession of two vehicles that are titled in your name, rather than hers.  She doesn't have a court order granting the vehicles to her, so has hidden them at various properties owned by her friends.  What is your legal exposure if you enter the friends properties to repossess the vehicles titled in your name?  
FWIW, when the wife had one of the vehicles towed from my friends property to a location unknown, they wouldn't let me file a stolen vehicle report because it was a domestic issue.  They said until a court order was issued, either one of us could possess the property.  
I wonder if I might face any trespass or breaking and entering charges if I attempt to recover the property, stored at another persons location?  Besides the obvious risk the storage location treating me like a burglar and shooting at me, what other risk do I have, legally?

Im no lawyer, but I had a divorce and drove past a Holiday Inn Express on the way to work

The title should be in your name as ya say so in thye court procedings it will be as such and you 2 will have to bicker about it. If she wants it she will have to take over payments and have the title and contract to her.

She can take all she wants, but there should besomething called into mediation where you to will go over all that crap. Dont let the ex drag it out, it is expensive to have a pencile neck asswipe that has no care about you go back and forth.

Your state may vary

You should have the court make some kind of agreement that if she wants them to compensate you or at least have your name removed from the obligations from it.

This stuff sux dude. My regards.


Make sure she dont squeeze you for back taxes and pull a credit report on her to know wehere you stand financially. My ex beotch opened all kinds of shit on my name. Cover yourself and bring that up in court.
Get yourself a competent lawyer, it is costly for a good one

Go get your fuckin car back, bring some artillery and maybe a friend. Oh and don't forget to bring a video camera and don't do anything too stupid.

Good luck!

had the same issue once. asked a cop, he said if your married to her she has just as much right as you to drive it. to that same end, it's your car too. if you have the title and have a set of keys, go get your car. just don't do something stupid. DON'T bring your gun but a whitness is a good idea. that way if she lies about what happened you have someone on your side telling the same story.don't talk to her or start shit. walk up, get in and drive off. i;ve been divorced for 4 years and still dealing with stupid ex-wifes shit.

So you were trying to hide the cars from your soon to be exwife and she outsmarted you. That about it?

Get ready. It ain't gonna be fun for the next year or two.

AWFUL lot of people here are ready to risk YOUR freedom and rights while they sit at home in Mom's basement....  Fuck the Keyboard Commandos..Talk to your Lawyer (Which you SHOULD already have if you're getting divorced) Before doing ANYTHING.

I know that you can get a temporary restraining order that stops her from sellings, giving away, disposing of, etc, etc, marital property....
