My exboyfriend and I brought a car together, I am the buyer and he's the cobuyer. We have split up and I want my name off the car loan. He want sign the papers to turn in the car. What advice can someone give me on what to do
Answer
You are stuck with the bargain you made - entering into a long term contractual relationship with a person with whom you had no legal relationship. This was exactly the risk you took. There is no "buyer" and "cobuyer" - what is important is who is on the title. Either come to an agreement on paying for it or selling it, or risk a credit problem for both of you.
Answer
Contracts are contracts and you have no right to violate them. You made a decision every lawyer would have told you to never do - buy a car with someone you are not married to. There is no such thing as a buyer and co-buyer. You are both responsible and you both own the car (and the loan).
You will either need to keep paying or ruin your credit and probably later be sued after a repossession for more money. And even once you do, you'll only own half a car. So unless you can cut a deal with him that pays off the car, you are stuck.
