You're hubby sounds like an obsessive freak. If I were you, I'd divorce him, go back to school so you can get a well paying job, and then you can buy your own car and support your kids without relying on a man.Legal advice plz help my husband says i'm not allowed to use the car.?
The car belongs to who ever has their name on the title. Why do you stay with such a jerk anyway? Never mind I probably don't want to know.
Even though you are married, unfortunately it is in his name all the way so he does have the right to say you cant drive it, legally, not morally.





He might be the kind of guy that uses the fact that he works and you dont to make you feel less than what you are, as hard as it may be you might need to get out of the marriage. No one deserves that!





But again, legally he does not have to let you use the car.


Good Luck, and remember you are deserve the best in life and dont settle for less!
because yall are married u can drive the car!


if he did some how manage to get the police after u then u will only get a warning! but wifes take their husbands car all the time during divorice and there isnt much anyone can do about it
i'll sock that fou if i was you if you've made payments then its your car ask him for devorce if he loves you he'll say no
Sounds to me like you should trade in your husband and get your own car!!
The fact you have to ask this question is proof enough you should not be in this relationship.
This is an abusive relationship, and it probably won't (and shouldn't) last. Irrespective of the names on the title, you should be able to drive the car.
Who's name is on the title? LEgally they are the owner, married or not.
well if both of your names are on the title, then you can. If not, even if you pay on it, it is legally his car.





I'm not saying he is right for doing that though.
Yeah if its in his name, its his car. But I dont know what kind of marriage you guys have that he is being so controlling. He should want you to have reliable ransportation...you are at home all day and may need it for emergencies.
It's not a question of ownership - it's a question of do you have insurance to drive the car.








If not tell him to get some - if he wont then you know you married a big sh1t
It doesn't matter who's name is on the loan. If both your's and your husband's names are on the title, you legally both own the car, 50/50. If it is just his name on the title, you don't have any ownership claims in the vehicle.
Divorce. If there is no respect, there is no marriage.
You should just demand that he buys you a car or you can just go out yourself and buy a new car. Why is he so stingy????
I am unfamiliar with the laws in Canada but in USA if you are married and living in the same household you can drive the car and are covered under insurance! He is totally b.s.ing you - why would he do that?
Well I don't know about Canadian law ... but in the US ... Who name is on the loan has nothing to do with who can drive it. If he has car insurance, everyone living at the same residence has the right to to drive it and is covered.
I have to ask this - don't mean to be rude, but if he is working and you are not, how did you BOTH manage to make payments on the car as you said you did.?


He sounds like a controlling jerk to me. I'd give him ';what-for';, then drag him around in the trunk for an hour to show him who the REAL boss is!
well if you both make payments on it, then you both have the right to drive it. When you enter into a marrige legally all of your belongings are shared that's why it goes 50/50 in divorces because you are one unit sharing everything. I think the real question you should be asking is why you would be with a controll freak that makes you rely on your parents to get you around when there is a perfectly good car at your disposal. Just because you are a stay at home mom doesn't mean you work any less than he does, I wouldn't doubt that you even work more. He needs to respect you. You shouldn't have to 'ask permission' for such things.





Also...if he feels that it's only his car because it's his name on the loan then I suggest you stop making payments on it until he lets you drive it as much as you want
It IS 50/50 in a marriage. He may technically ';own'; the car, but in a marriage you are partners. What's mine is yours, what is yours is mine. As his wife, you're covered on his insurance policy...assuming he has insured the car.





The two of you need to go to marriage counseling. I don't know what has been going on between you, but if your husband is trying to ';contain'; you or control you, you need to give serious thought to either getting therapy for yourself and your marriage or getting out of the relationship before he hurts you.





DO NOT LET HIM ISOLATE YOU FROM YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!!! Have an escape route planned and make sure your family knows what is going on. Make sure your children are protected, too.





Good luck!





P.S. I live in Canada, too.
Although I live in the US, I would say that even if it's only in his name, the fact that you are married makes it just as much your responsibility too.





As for what he is doing, by not letting you drive it, I'd say he has some major issues with dominance, and that he needs a smack across the face!





Is he afraid you will wreck it or something? How does he expect you to get around?...tell him to buy a car you can use too then. Because if you are unemployed, you won't be able to get a car on your own anyway.
well technically, he is right. if the loan and the registration is in his name it is his car and can prevent you from driving, but since you made payments on it using your money, he effectively owes you that money if he wont let you drive the car. i hope this helps
