How does it not make sense? If he wrecks the truck. The person he injures is going to sue the owner, which is me and him as the driver. He carries insurance as he is the driver, that has possession of the truck, to protect him and me.
It is just me on the title because I bought it as a gift right before we got married. He got the truck in the divorce uncontested, so he has the truck.
I have signed about 5 or 6 copies of the title over the years to him. For whatever reason his hold up is signing his name, going to the MVA and getting the truck in his name. He told me last night that he thinks he just needs copies of the divorce decree. I told him I am happy to give him copies and help him through the process.
He is using you.
I would give him an ultimatum: He either keeps the truck and changes it over or I come and get the truck. No way in hell would I have my name on something that someone else is driving.
If he chooses option 1, I would come over and get him and we would both go to the DMV.
No it doesn't make any sense because most adults would not allow someone that they divorced to drive a vehicle in their name, especially when you know that they are irresponsible.
Well, I have a feeling that the boyfriend is reacting more to the whole general, keeping the ex in her life, than just his last name.
OP, I'm curious...do you feel like you're somehow responsible for the ex? Like maybe you feel guilty for divorcing him?
My Ex husband is a very good friend to my brother and uncle. We share a child. I tend to keep distance but I will never completely get him out of my life. We live in the same small town. I would have to turn into a hermit to go no contact and remove my exes from my life.
No I do not feel responsible for him in any way. The last time he got arrested and the cops called me to pick the truck up from the side of the road, I told them to keep it, auction it off and donate the proceeds. He had to call a friend to pick it up. So no, I do not rescue him or involve myself in his life. In 2015 my boyfriend was sleeping with his girlfriend and I gave him the heads up, but other than that we do not overly involve ourselves in each other's lives.
My daughter just had a major health situation and he did not even come to the hospital, he let my bf, my family and I to handle it. Our communication is once every few years. I have sole custody of the child so we do not have to talk about her, but sometimes she wants to reach out to him. I won't be the person that won't let her. But overall we have very little interaction, so bf should not feel any jealousy. He knows I keep my distance from my ex husband.
Oh God, you are low on luck coz well, you let yourself get fooled. There is no way I am gonna write up to 6 copies to turn over the title to someone. I will only write it once and do it myself if my ex is a tool like yours, for real.
I do understand why you won't change your name coz of your kids. Yolanda, Gigi Hadid's mom changed back her last name same as all her kids, too.
But damn, woman, why you let the tool (ex husband) string you along like that?
I can't sign his name so the truck can be put in his name. Some things you can't do for someone else.
If you remarried, your daughter would still probably have the same last name as her father, so while keeping it now is alright, it doesn’t mean you’ll always have the same name.
Most women who divorce with children keep their ex husbands name for the reason you said.
My son and his ex wife divorced and she was supposed to revert to her former name. They had no children. My son does not like that she still uses his name. We e even seen her name in the paper as Our name-New husband. This just seems weird.
I do not see remarriage in my future. I think this will be my name for the duration of my life.
I married young, and have been divorced a really long time. I kept my ex husbands last name so that my daughter and I would have the same last name. It just made sense at the time because I assumed I would remarry and my daughter and I could both change to the new husbands last name. Obviously that never happened.
This weekend, following an issue with my ex husbands truck, still in my name, my ex husband casually mentioned to my brother that if I changed my last name, his issues would not involve me. (The truck being put in his name would resolve the issues...)
So then my bf of several years, mentioned it bothers him that I use my ex husbands name. To me it is just a name. It sounds better than my maiden name, easier to spell and same as my daughter.
I would love to have the same last name as both my children, but I think it is to late to make name changes. I regret giving my son his fathers last name instead of using my current last name.
The last time my last name came up, I thought of just using my grandparents last name but that is confusing also.
Do names really matter? Should my bf be bothered that I have the same last night as my ex husband? My gut just says let it go and this too shall pass...
Seems to me that your bf can easily fix the issue if it bothers him that much... otherwise, not really his business.. JMO!

Of course you can't sign his name but all you have to do is make him sign it then you can do the rest yourself. So you gave the truck to him willingly during divorce you could have made a memo that you will only do it if he transfer the name to him. Then you won't have to be dragged all those years. Did you pay for it after you gave to it him?

It is his truck in court documents. I can't just go take it without a court order. and paying an attorney to make him put the truck in his name was not a good use of money according to my lawyer. The insurance he had to carry protected me.

How does one make someone do something they do not want to do? I paid cash for the truck before we married. It was his truck, I don't want it.
The divorce decree says he had 30 days to change it to his name. He never did it. I did everything on my end.

Well I guess you can take the truck since he CLEARLY did not obey what he was supposed to do. I don't know but, I would not even give him the truck in the first place even if I don't want it.
