chances are you will have to split the value of the vehicle at the time of seperation, since it was “marital property”. You get the equity you put into the vehicle since then. As for the insurance, I am not sure, but you may be able to get the premiums for that vehicle too. I think the attorney needs to answer that though.

When the divorce was granted did you and your Wife deal with your equitable distribution issues or did you just file for divorce?

The divorce was handled as a seperate issue and the divorce papers say the issue of equitable distribution is still pending.

Generally, the value of this vehicle and the oustanding debt would be distributed to you. You will have to account to the marital estate for the value of the vehicle when you do the final property division.

My ex wife and I are now divorced. Throughout the separation she has refused to come to an agreement on devision of property so we are waiting on the court system for this. Since the date of separation, which is well over a year, I have made the car payment on the vehicle I kept and have had an individual insurance policy which I have paid. I was recently in a car accident and have just been told the vehicle will be totaled. The car is still in both names since she has refused to agree on property devision. Will she ultimately get half the pay off on the car or is there any way to keep it for another vehicle since I have made all of the payments and maintained separate insurance for over a year?
