Can a judge put a lock device on my vehicle?
My husband had accident. Found out he had no license from a 20 year old fine in another state. Nobody but him was in the accident. Now the judge is planning to lock my car for 30 days. Can I do anything? If they lock my car, he can (and most likely will) lose his license. The car is in my maiden name.

I really think that it may be best for you to consult with an attorney in your area about defending your husband in this matter and trying to help mitigate the matter as it relates to the car. The fact that the car is in your name alone is somewhat good but really his access to the vehicle will come in to play. The fact that you are married and living in the same house kind of implies easy access. I think that if you try and take care of the old fine and have his license reinstated and do what ever the court asks regarding a fine or penalty you should be ok. But it is always good to have a little muscle in your corner. Good luck.
