Attorney how about if your on the title on the car and it’s fully paid

How about if your on the little of the cars and the house u sign for the No interest on the property

Balaykang Uragon being on title or on the loan does not predetermine the disposition of property in a divorce if it is marital property but may need to be taken into consideration as the assets and liabilities are apportioned between the parties. Hope that helps!
