Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
(1) The car is in your Mom's name so it is not yours or his to legally negotiate. Don't give it to him or sign anything involving it and hold off on anything until you engage a divorce lawyer to direct you. It would appear joint marital funds were used for the car and it would be both of yours, so it may become your car.
(2) Get your money out of that joint bank account immediately. It should be placed in another bank in an account under your name only, as a single woman. If you decide to take all the money out of the joint bank account and close it, then put it all in your new bank account BUT DO NOT SPEND HIS HALF AND keep records for yourself on his money in there. Get directions from your attorney as to how and when you should distribute to him and in what manner---should it be a cashier's check and your husband sign a receipt (the attorney prepares) that your ex received the money? Let the attorney tell you exactly how it should be handled.
(3) Immediately change the locks to where you live. You may find that your ex could decide to walk in and out whenever he wants to. Act now to avoid that.
