My question is this...
Can someone claim a car and try and sue for it if they are not on the title of this car?

My friend and I are on the title and loan docs of a car... he is going through a divorce and his ex to be is threating to sue us for the car... however she is not on the title or the loan docs... so does she have any rights to this car? She is claiming it was given to her by him but she has made no payments he has... and the state we live in is not a community state.

Not sure what you mean by "claim" the car. Are you referring to putting a lien on it? More information is needed to give you an accurate answer.

If you owed me money, I can sue you, get a judgement and then put a lien on your car.

If you are getting divorced your soon to be ex and sue in divorce court for the car

If the car was not properly bought a prior owner may sue

Anyone can claim anything. They can sue for anything. Whether they will win or not depends on the proof they have of their claims.

You need to explain the full circumstances if you want us to help.

I have merged your two posts, please do not start a new one just to add more info, this is not a blog.

You "answer" your own question to add more info

She can claim it in the divorce and try to base it on her usage.
What is your relationship to the man? A divorce court may look at that also.

But at best, they can not give your 1/2 interst away, just his interst in divorce court

She doesn't have the car... I have it now. He is my best friend. The car in the divorce is stated as his items he kept when they split.. its his only means of transportation he left her all the other vehicles.

If the divorce decree says the car is his, she has no legal claim on it.
