If my husband and I have been separated for 15 months, can he be stopped from taking the car from me?
We got back together for 2 months. During that time, I wrecked our car. It was in both our names.The iInsurance check was in both our names. This car is in his name, with me as additional driver. Although I sent him $500 last month to apply on payment and insurance, he is coming to take the car in 2 weeks.

It is both your car and his. It makes no difference how it is titled. The question, however, is whether the money you are givng him is going towards the payment of the car. You may want to check with the finance company if you are on the loan. Otherwise, let him know that if he taking the car, then you want half the proceeds of the insurance.
