So, yes, the creditor can take the car by getting a court order.
The creditor would sell the car and give your son his half of the equity in the car and keep the rest to pay down your debt.
On the other hand, if you put your son on the title in an effort to keep it from the creditor, a court may allow the creditor to keep all the equity.
