Asked over 2 years ago - Hewitt, TX

I bought a truck last year on my debit card to pull our boat. this spring my wife gave her car to her sister and started driving my truck( i drive the mini van for kids). Now my wife is leaving me and she wont give my truck back, she took off with ALL our legal papers that where in binder. She wont even give me the title so i can go get a title loan to pay the utilities that she agreed to pay when we bought house. I pay mortgage, taxes and house insurance she paid the utilities. She moved out about 3 weeks ago , i have had to pay over 1200 in bills in last 6 weeks , she paid some with my card and promised to pay me back , then left and i had to pay past due amounts of $456 electric and 200 for phone/cable/isp. She also stole my keys to truck so i cant go get it. What can i do?

If you are the sole titled owner of the vehicle, I believe that you can retrieve it, as long as you do not use any violence in doing so and do not violate any other laws. I suggest that you retain a divorce attorney.
