Wife won't add spouse's name to title
 

Dear Terry,
My wife recently bought a car and listed her name as the only owner. She refuses to add my name to the title. We live in Arizona. What can I do, if anything?

Dear Todd,
If your wife bought the car on her own, she doesn't have to put you on the title -- or even let you drive it.

Depending on the divorce laws in Arizona, however, her car may be considered community property and you might be entitled to a share of it if you ever split.

High cost lowers demand for premium gas
Should I get loan separate from spouse?
Will insurance cover my enhanced auto?
Can I make my wife add me to the car title?
