Last Friday night, my family and I went out for dinner, then to the festival where we rode some rides and played some games, the kids won some cheesy stuffed animals, and we went home...Upon arriving at home there was a message from my mother that she heard on the scanner that the police were looking for a car that was in my name...
So...After calling the police department, this is what I found out...
My ex (who is driving a vehicle that was STILL in MY name), went out, got watsed, and was involved in a hit and run...The license plate number sent the police to ME...I told them that he was the one who has possession of that vehicle and that I have never driven that vehicle (well, I did one time, a long time ago)...Anyway, they asked for his name and address...I gave them his name, but I didn't know the address, I told them the street name and which house it was...My son gave the officer his phone number...So, I figured they'd arrest him and put him in jail...Meanwhile, I didn't know how much I would be responsible for since the car was in my name...
I found out that my ex did NOT have the vehicle insured at the time of the accident, but he does NOW (did it 2 days ago) But, that isn't gonna make a damned bit of difference, and I don't see what the point is since the car is totalled now anyway...
So...The way I see it...He will be charged with hit and run, and I will be responsible for the lawsuit that I am sure will ensue, to pay for property damages (to the truck that he hit) and medical expenses for the person who was driving the truck...Luckily no one was killed....So far, my ex has NOT been arrested...I have no idea why...
I still haven't got a clue what's going to happen to us...I went to the courthouse, Monday morning to transfer that vehicle OUT of my name and into his...But, that's after the fact...
I'm just waiting to see how much we are going to have to pay, and if we are going to lose OUR vehicles, and our home because of something that loser asshole did, that had absolutely nothing to do with us...
Yeah...I'd call THAT a bit of bad luck...

it's partly bad luck - but largely avoidable ...
this should have been taken care of ages ago - you HAVE to anticipate shit like this will happen.
if you had a gun registered in your name would you let the ex husband keep it ?
this shit absolutely has to be dealt with at the time of separation.
its unfortunate, and i feel for you - its learning the hard way - thats for sure.
