If the husband proves that he bought the car with money received from relatives, then in case of divorce, the vehicle will remain with him. This was stated by auto lawyer Lev Voropaev.
According to him, this is difficult if it is an official marriage without an agreement on the division of property.
The fact of acquiring any property, especially gifts in marriage, indicates that this is jointly acquired property. During the division, you can try to refute this.
According to Voropaev, the key point is to confirm that the funds for the purchase of the car are not from the family budget of the husband, but, for example, from parents or other relatives. In this case, the car will not be divided in case of divorce.
For reliable protection of property, the lawyer recommends concluding a marriage contract before registering the marriage, in which the rights to property in case of divorce are prescribed in advance. The contract must be drawn up by a notary so that it has legal force.
Thus, a properly executed contract and documentary evidence of the source of funds for the car will help keep it even in the event of an official divorce.
