Divorce!

[tucknroll]

Hey guys, I'm headed for divorce after 13 years. She's saying she wants half the value of the car. It's a 69 charger with a 383 2barrel. Ac car but air don't work. She says it's worth 30 but according to nada e ith the right information it's worth just over 9. It's a driver that looks great 20 feet away but it has too many problems and flaws to list. Is nada a good place to start on the value.  She wants an appraiser to check it. She thinks cause everyone loves it that it's worth a fortune.  Help!

[birdsandbees]

Tell her to take the car and give you 15! 

[tucknroll]

It's bad. I offered her 70 thousand for her half of the house and 50/50 with the two boys. She wants half the home equity,  half my retirement,  half value of the car and child support.  I'm screwed

[TruckDriver]

Sell the Charger to a friend for $500, and give her $250. When the divorce is over, buy it back from your trusted friend. I know a few that have done that with their cars. 

[tucknroll]

I wish I could but I was stupid and it's in both of our names

[Baldwinvette77]

"Ruin" the exterior with plastic, peel off spray paint, remove some parts and such before the appraiser looks at 

[XH29N0G]

If it were me, I would just want an accurate appraisal and then take it from there.  I do not know about the guides.  I would assume that if it appraised really high, I would also want the option  to sell it for that (or have her buy it for that) and start with the cash on something else later.

Sorry to hear you are going through this.

Sorry to hear you are going through this as well. I hope it turns out well.

Number one cause for divorce is marriage.

Been there,  done that... never again.

[Derwud]

If you are in California and she has a lawyer, you are screwed!

Good luck, sell the car, buy another one when you are clear from her... But the car on it's best day, is worth half of what she says it is..

[cbrestorations]

Car got stolen...whoops, dang the luck. Afterwords you just happen to buy one just like it with a different vin. Booom....

[polywideblock]

can add my been there done that , never again
I "sold"  my cars to a mate, total value 6 K gave her 3 and didn't look at them till the divorce was over and 12 months had gone by .put my life on hold for 12 months
don't know how it works in the US but even after the divorce over here they can come back at you for 12 months afterwards .
so if you win the lottery she can still get half , no good slimy toads    

good luck and  remember the kids and try not to get "messy", they have long memory's .      2 of mine still don't talk to her  

[charger chris]

I hope everything works out for you. Women can't live with them and can't live with them lol. Have some come look at your car and then have some come and buy it. Then way after down road you can duty it back. Just do thinks right.
I was smart 6 moth. To my divorce I started hide money and hide other things. There are ways around thing.

Tell her you want half of her jewelery and half of her shoe collection etc, tell her you want it appraised too for proper value.

[Homerr]

If you get an appraisal make sure it is in line with the Hagerty value, not some idiot appraiser that watches too many auction shows.

[Mopar Nut]

Let's see some pictures of that $2,000 dollar car!

[tucknroll]

Thanks guys. I'll get some pics up soon

[polywideblock]

on a side note get yourself a  investigative accountant to go through her financials and to look for "hidden bank accounts ". as the guy from "dads in distress " told me when they finally file for divorce they have been thinking/ planning  about it for at least 2 years 

[RECHRGD]

Don't deal with her on your own.  Get a lawyer that specializes in fathers rights.

Ditto. Our opinions, as well as that of NADA, are worthless without someone to fight for you. A lot is at stake here, not the least of which is the well being of four people. Get representation.

[A383Wing]

not sure about your state, but just because both names are on the title, that does not mean that both have to sign the title in order to sell the car.....you might want to check into that

[John_Kunkel]

Isn't that the title of a cowboy song? 

[tucknroll]

She wrecked an suv that I paid for, took the 9 thousand she got from insurance and bought a 40 thousand dollar van without even telling me. My lawyer said that 9 grand is mine. Ill tell her forget the charger and ill forget the minivan

The lesson on all of this: prenup.

And that will start a fight because then according to her you don't trust her.
