I want to file my own divorce in Wisconsin.  This was a short marriage
and even though I am disabled and became disabled during our marriage
this man will give me nothing.   The complication I have is that I
have a car, which we bought because he totalled my car and we put the
car in his name and the payments are with GMAC.  I have two more years
of payments with zero interest.  I can not  pay off the car, I am
disabled and need it for dr appointments, etc.  How do I continue to
pay for this car and include this in a divorce petition, that he must
release the title to me when the payments are completed?  We also have
another car in both names however, it is paid for.

Hi...

I'm not a Researcher and don't live in Wisconsin. However, when I
separated from my ex husband, the car I was driving and making
payments for was also in his name.

The best thing to do, if he is co-operative, is for him to sign the
vehicle ownership over to you.

If he is totally uncommunicative and unco-operative, my suggestion
would be for you to see a lawyer. Most give free first time
consultations. At least, that way you will know what your rights are
and what you are entitled to.

Good luck,

Best to talk to an attorney in dealings with GMAC.  Community property
muddies waters of divorce for property separation.  Cheeshead here
that went through similar, make sure the decree spells it out clearly
or you'll be back in court ASAP.

If your looking to fill out your own forms you can check the Wisconsin
Law library website: http://wsll.state.wi.us/wiforms.html
However, it you need to go to bat, get a lawyer...

Thanks so much to all who are answering...its helpful and food for thought!
