Yes, if the title is in her name as well.  The person listed on the title is the legal owner and if you gave her the car in the property settlement and you violate the order in any way you could get in to a lot of trouble.  I would speak with your attorney if there are issues as to the loan and late payments, your credit, etc.   Good luck.
