    Folks, is there anyone here familiar with car registration and the legalities of it in Florida?

    Got a friend with a problem.

    When he was still married to his wife, he bought a car. The car was titled in his name only and the loan was in his name only. In the divorce, his ex got the car.

    And this is where the circus starts.

    She refused to sign the title transfer paperwork. He offered to pay all the fees, and she still refused. So after talking to Tax Collector's office, the guy was informed that they cancelled the registration and marked the car as "sold", which supposedly relieved him of direct liability should she wreck the car or kill someone.

    So here we are, December 31st. The registration, tags and title are invalid, as they were cancelled by the Tax Collector.

    What now? His attorney went to the judge, and judge set a hearing on the matter....for Jun 2004!

    Does anyone have any idea about the repercussions should the ex get into a car accident?
