What is the name of your state? NY, I am in the process of a nasty divorce. My wife has our son and I am trying to get joint custody, making out divorce drag on. I wantto get on with my life but I am afraid that what ever I get for myself now, she can still take from me in the divorce. Can I file for legal seperation with the child custody situation? We also got a car together before that I cosigned for.. Is there any way to get my name off the tittle so I am not obligated to it anymore, with out ruining my credit? I want it to be over. Is there something else I can do? HELP
