Yes, you can have the issue of the car addressed during your divorce.

In the meantime, you have as much right to the car as the deadbeat dad does.

You can sneakily go get the car, have the locks changed, hide it, and drive the car until he comes to take it back from you.


The issue of who ends up owning the car will be decided during your divorce.
