What to do if I can’t get proper documentation from the co-owner of my vehicle to register my car?

I am the a co-signer on a vehicle with my ex. I am in the process of refinancing the car to remove him from ownership so I can register the car in my current state. He will not provide me the information I need to register the vehicle. The registration is about to expire and I know I have to get this done but he is not cooperating. He does not want the vehicle nor does it want it in his name any longer, he is just trying to make things difficult. Any action I can take?

If your former boyfriend is being difficult in providing you with the needed information for you to register your vehicle, you should probably contact the nearest department of motor vehicles in your state about the problem you are having and ask for suggestions how to proceed.

Potentially given the problems you are experiencing, the needed information might not be as vital for the registration of the vehicle if you are able to explain to someone with the department of motor vehicles your predicament.

Good luck.
