FlagI understand normal financial liability, but I resent the possibility of being held liabile for something that is totally out of my control--we live in the same city, but do not see each other regularly.

I have altered your post to the civil law section of avvo so some civil lawyers may respond. There are several issues: is the vehicle in joint names or hers only? Is the vehicle insured? Is the vehicle addressed in the separation agreement? Is the title in your name? Was car purchased during the marriage?, etc. You need to speak with your family lawyer and address your concerns to protect yourself.
