If a couple divorce and they own 2 vehicles, does each person each get one or do they both get awarded to the person who’s name appears on the title?
Both vehicle titles are in 1 person’s name only; 1 vehicle was purchased before marriage and 1 vehicle was purchased after marriage. Payments were made by both parties and in the papers filed it was asked for each person to receive 1 vehicle, with each person making the payment on the vehicle the have.

Generaly speaking, assets purchased prior to marriage are considered seperate property and assets purchased during a marriage are considered marital property regadless of whose name that they are titled in. But if you and your soon to be ex have entered in to a voluntary agreement as to the assets then the court will uphold your wishes and incorporate the agreement in to the order of divorce. Good luck.
