Once you have decided who is keeping the car, you may need to adjust the name on the insurance policy and the proof of ownership. If you take over the vehicle or buy it from your ex, ensure that the vehicle is then registered in your name at the DIV (Vehicle Registration Office). Your insurer can help you with this.
You can have one of our employees check the policy for you. Based on their personal and reliable advice, you can then make the right decision. In preparation for your meeting, you can calculate your car insurance premium online.
