Who Is Responsible For Paying Automotive Expenses If My Ex Bought My 16-Year-Old A Car After Our Rochester Divorce?

Unless your agreement included specific provisions, your former spouse should expect to be responsible for costs like car insurance and any payments for your child’s car.

In some cases, the car is used to facilitate transportation to school and educational activities like athletic or band events.

In that case, you might reasonably expect that your standard child support payment, which takes into account transportation costs associated with parenting, will simply be applied to the child’s car instead of your former spouse’s vehicle.

Your spouse may other ideas though, and decide that you should shoulder the burden of car insurance or car payments, in which case you should take steps to protect yourself from a bump in your child support obligation.

Your former spouse made a decision about car ownership, and now wants you to pay.

The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help ensure that you have the best representation possible against claims like this in Rochester.
