I lived with a gentleman I had a child with and owned an automobile with. We have been separated for 5 years (never married) and I have the title to the automobile which is in both of our names. I have been paying for the entire upkeep on the car, including taxes, insurance, tires, oil changes, and tune-ups. The car is getting older, and I need his name off the title. Is there a legal time limitation that he can no longer make any claim to the car? He has made no claim thus far but also will not sign the title so that I can do anything on my own with the car. We lived in a state where we purchased the automobile originally, where they used 'no and/or' in the title. We moved to this state, and I took the title to transfer it to only my name 5 years ago, but this state defaults to 'AND' between our names. What do I do?
