Answer:

In divorce proceedings, all marital assets and liabilities must be divided between spouses. As the wife, you have an equal right to claim the car as your husband does. In fact, you may have a stronger claim because you use the car for work, while he does not.

Marital assets include all property acquired during the marriage, regardless of ownership or title. This can include houses, cash, stocks, bonds, cars, pensions, and insurance. In community property states like Texas, assets acquired before marriage or through inheritance, gifts, or agreements between spouses may be considered separate property and not marital assets.
