Re: dual ownership of vehicle
Who paid for it doesn't matter. If you titled it jointly she owns half. You can't do anything without her, nor can she without you.
If you had wanted a right to take the car, you should have set it up where she signed a proper note with that right, the car was in her name, and you were the lienholder.
That is why you see a lawyer before doing major transactions with other people. Now it's too late.
