You mention that the car was purchased either before or after the marriage; it is essential to know when the car was purchased. If it was purchased with money and during the marriage it would generally be considered marital property no matter whose name the car is registered in. If it were purchased before the marriage with personal money earned by her husband and the car was registered in his or his father’s name, it would be individual property and not subject to marital division.
In summary, if will indicate what State you are located in and how the car was acquired, I will be able to better respond to your question.
