If the car was purchased during the marriage then it is assumed to be marital property for distribution in the event of a divorce. If you have retained a lawyer then I would strongly suggest that you consult him or her about the next step to insure he does not do anything to compromise ANY of the marital assets - his pension, life insurance, etc. - to your detriment. Tite of the asset has nothing to do with ownership in a divorce. Good luck.
