Due to unfortunate circumstances, we will be getting a new car. The vehicle I currently drive is titled to me (the main family vehicle) and my husband is currently carless. When we get the new car, it will become the main family vehicle (and therefore the one I drive) and DH will get the current one. I have researched and found that we should definitely NOT have both of us on the title. DH thinks he should just be on the title (since my name is on the other vehicle.) He is also the one whose name is on the loan since he has an income and I have been homeschooling our children the past ten years.
So does it make a difference that “my” new car (since I will be the one primarily driving it) has the title in DH’s name and then “his” car has the title in my name? So in theory, DH owns the car I will be driving 99% of the time?
I am in Illinois if that matters (and no, no chance of divorce, so the legality of who owns the car in such a situation is not an issue.)
