Is it okay to leave?

Question

Hoping i can get some advice… my husband has a mental illness and is going through a manic episode. When he gets like this he is emotionally abusive and i want to leave with my daughters. The problem is that he just totaled his car 2 weeks ago so we are currently sharing my car. We both own it and its under both of our names so idk if i can take it with me? We both use it to get to and from work so i don’t know how that would work, but i do want to just leave my current situation. Any advice? TIA

Answer

Happened in Florida. My SIL was separating from her husband and took the car that was under ONLY his name. 
When she went to their home to pick up some stuff, he called the cops demanding the car back since it was only under his name. 
The police refused to do anything about it, and he was told that she can't steal the car if they are married, and the only thing he can do is take her to court, but until then as long as they are married it's equally her car. But they also let her know if he has spare keys, or took the car in whichever way, they can't help her either. 
I witnessed this scenario happen 2 other different times with other people involved in 2 different states, California and New Jersey. Only difference that the incident in NJ, the car was under both their names. But both were told the same thing, as long as you both are still married, the car belongs to both, until divorced or if they have an issue to take it to court. 
All this to say, if you guys are married he can't report the car stolen and police won't be able to do anything about it. Just watch out that he doesn't find a way to get the car back, because same thing will apply to you if he takes the car even if it's under both of your names.

My advice would be to consult a lawyer regarding the car. I’m not certain of the legality there.

Don’t know how true this is but if you can prove that you’ve been the one making the payments like bank statements I think you can win if it comes down to it. Just something I’ve heard. Don’t know if it’s true.
