he will have to work that out with his wife if the divorce proceding are already occuring. because they need to split the assests up, even if he owns the car right now he may not have the right to give it to you in exchange for a car of lesser value. Have him talk to his lawyer.

A lot of whether or not he can do it comes down to how far along they are in the proceedings. But there's always the chance that you could talk to her, and offer your car plus a bit of cash.

he has no lawyer?

Assests in a divoce are usually split equally, so if she can agree to take your car instead of the 97 then you guys are cool.

If they are parting on good terms she probably won't care what car she gets.

Is there a prenup involved? If so then of course they must abide by the ruling. Normal divorce does not require splitting of assest/property unless he made an oral agreement with her to give as a gift or it is in her name.

yeh, he needs to talk to his lawyer.

A prenup is a pre-nuptial agreement. Worthless in california but normally its an agreement that both people in a marriage sign which covers assests in the event of an early marriage termination. Its a way to cover your *** when you get married to someone...so if you breakup she doesn't take your house and your car and leave you with nothing (Which the court somehow things is fair)
