What to do about an accident with car that you have no use of but is still registered in your name?
My wife and her ex had a vehicle that was in both of their names. She left him and was unaware that she needed to be removed from the title; they went their seperate ways. Almost 2 years later, he was involved in an accident in said car and had no insurance. Now, my wife has had her registration privileges revoked and is expected to pay the fines, as they are unable to contact him.

I suggest that your wife consult with her former dissolution attorney to see what her legal recourse is concerning her "ex" and the auto accident that he was in. She should also contact her insurance carrier as well to see what information it may have concerning the mishap.
