Do I have legal right to take what’s mine from my seperated wife?
We have 2 cars; 1 is solely registered in my name and the other is in both of our names. I purchased them both prior to the marriage and she is driving the 1 which has my name solely on it. I want that car back since it is in my name after all. Can I legally go over there and request the keys? If she says no, what are my options?Also, she is now refusing me to visit with my 3 year old son, because she is too busy hanging out with her boyfriend and all, do I have the legal right to go over there and take him from her for the weekend that I am off?

What you need to do is to play by the rules and not play games like she is becuase that will put you in a much better light in the eyes of the court when the time comes. You need to file something - for custody and visitation of your son - and for divorce and tempoary use of the car pending determination of the assets. Good luck.
