you won it AFTER the divorce??? not a marital asset, she can’t touch it!!!
April 14th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
You don’t. Tell her to blow.
April 14th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
You don’t. Keep the car – she’s just jealous and wants to put the blame on you in frong of the kids.
And what kid NEEDS a new car? Are they paying the bills?
April 14th, 2010 at 4:13 pm
You don’t. Her problems are not your problems. As long as you are helping to provide and care for your children, that is your only obligation both legally and morally.

Man she sure has balls.
NO don’t give it to her!

Give her your old car. It’s new to her…

I don’t think this is your responsiblity. You’re nice for asking, though. My ex couldn’t stand it when I bought a new car and somehow, he thinks the child support is paying for it.
Mothers do need reliable transportation, but you are post divorce. She’s got to figure it out.

You have the responsibility to ensure that your children are riding in a reliable and safe vehicle when they are with you. Mom needs to find her own way, or turn over custody if she cannot provide the necessaries.

Keep the car.
April 14th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
no make her buy her own car
April 14th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
It’s your choice.
April 14th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
if she can’t afford a car, it’s her problem.
April 14th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Tell her if she wants a new car she can save up for one, this one is YOURS and do NOT let her guilt you into giving it up. That is outrageous.
April 14th, 2010 at 9:40 pm
Tell that DOLT she can walk! Give her a wheel barrel and a pair of your old Chuck Taylors.

congrats on winning the car, why should she get the car? you won it. maybe she should work and save money and buy her own car. don’t give her the car you need it for your kids too.
April 14th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Everything you acquire from now on is yours. You need the car to take them to school. Don’t let her make you feel guilty
April 14th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
you, my friend, owe that unwashed rube NOTHING – keep the wheels!

I will go against the populist here. I would give her the car, as long as she paid the taxes and tagged and titled it. With those agreements in place, you will have at least given her the option to take the car and allow your kids a safer means of transportation while they are with their mom. So do what is right for the kids, besides if you own a Bad Ass Bow Tie, why would you want the new piece of crap anyway.

Excuse me but if you were to give her the car you are a FOOL!!!
She has no reason at all to get the car no matter if you won it or bought it. You are divorced and actually do everything for the kids so why would she need the car? No reason at all except that she wants it. Any court would also tell you she has no rights to it either, so tell her she is fine and if the kids need to go somewhere and she can’t get them there you will drive them and she can buy her own new car if she needs one. not your responsibility.

It sounds like you did the right thing with Divorce this one !! I bet every thing in the relationship was your FAULT also. sounds like my X smile big with the new car in her presents !! GOOD FOR YOU !! she is a fool don’t feel sorry for her if she won the car what would she say to you ??? treat her the same as she would to you , I love it !!!

they always use the kids when they really mean themselves. if you won that car and she is your “ex-wife” she is not entitled to have that car! you can take your kids to school and take them where ever they need to while your driving it, but dont just give it to her! if she need a car so bad then she should have made sacrifices to try and get one. now all of a sudden since you won the car for you, the kids need a car. these ex-wives theink they are entitled to every thing that the ex-husband has and it not true cuz they arent even married to them anymore. keep your car and contunue to take care of your kids.
