Car/Relationship Problems

I JUST THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE SPENT THE MAJORITY OF THE MONEY ON YOURSELF AND THE BABY—> AND HIM LATER ON…WITH THE EXTRA MONEY..BEING THAT YOUR THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKED AND THEREFORE THAT TAX MONEY WOULD BE YOURS AND YOUR CHILDS…AND THAT CAR IS YOURS…

Just to clear it up - he worked all year, I didn’t.

He’s mad because I got the title put in just my name, but he wasn’t there with me to sign the papers. He said that was a “single” thing to do and that his name should have been on the title also. The thing is, I dont even think he’s going to be able to drive the car because I have to have a breathalizer in it and I dont think anyone else will be able to drive the car. I just dont get why he’s so upset that I didn’t put his name on it.

Instead of spending the money we get back from claiming our daughter, we put it in HER savings account. That way if anything comes up that she needs and we didn’t plan for, we have a little spending money…we plan on doing this every year, that way it can go toward her collage expenses, or a car when we think she’s mature enough to have one (whether it be 16 or 18…) By the time that comes, she’ll have a nice chuck of money to use (with our permission).

In this situation, I would say that the car should be in his name also. Even though he wasn’t there, it can still be changed. I wouldn’t want my fiance to go out and buy a car and put it in just his name. We share everything, and OUR names are on everything we own together. My fiance rarely drives ‘my’ car, but his names on it, as well as mine’s on ‘his’. Just let him know that you would appreciate if he would do the same with the car that he drives.

Since you’re in a relationship that is leading to marriage, AND he worked for the money…I’d say yes, it should be in both names…What if he’d been the one who registered the car, and put it in his name only, because he felt he’d earned the money and the tax return was in his name??? Would you see that was a pretty “single” thing to do…??

Uhm there is no yours or mine, it’s ours… at least that’s how my parents see their marriage… and I’d hope to see mine in the same way… who cares what name is on whatever…?

If you purchased the car, then you are entitled to have it in your own name.

In the end, it shouldn’t matter - in a solid relationship there is no “yours and mine” - it’s all both of yours, and things like this are simply formalities.

In my eyes if you are in a commited relationship and the car is only in one name, it won’t matter after you are married. It now becomes what is mine is yours and if a divorice happens you split it 50/50 in the eyes of the court no matter who owned what before the marriage.

If he worked hard for the money, and he paid for it, it’s his car.

I would want it to be in my name for many reasons,the main is if she can’t pay some of the payments I would want and have to pitch in. If it weren’t in my name just hers I know it’s also mine because we share it because instead of being upset I would help her pay for it instead of arguing about who’s name should be on it.
