QLD Separation from Ex - Who Legally Owns the Car?

Hi RDDD,

If you legally transferred the vehicle to your ex and the vehicle is registered in their name, they are the legal owner of it. If you wish to argue that you paid for the vehicle and are the beneficial owner of it, or have an equitable interest in it then you will have to apply to the court for a ruling on any such interest. You would of course need to show that you have control or possession of it on a day-to-day basis or actual control over it. If a person owns, uses, and possesses a vehicle that is not legally registered or titled to their name, that can still have an equitable interest in the property.
