fraud
My husband and I have separated 6 months ago and I have tied to stay amicable, he doesn't want divorce or sell the house. He has been living with someone else and lying to me. we agreed that I would maintain the house and sort teenage daughter out and he would maintain the cars, as all insurance goes through his dad's buisiness. The MOT was required in dec. there is so much wrong with the car he has had it back so many times.; electronic failure (ongoing problem)no speedo working, even though I drive through a city centre every day. When he had it MOTed through his company he brought it back with seat belt not working, nearly bald tyres(even though he told me he had put 4 new ones on) and told me he had now signed it over to me as registered owner. The car is a joint assett at the moment but he is in his name as the owner. On advice I took it to local garage who said needs tracking , seat beat and a lot of work on it the car. costing a fortune. I was advised to contact DVLA as it's an offence to knowingly drive an unroad worthy vehichle & send the log book back . He also must have forged my signature as I got the log book back in my name and haven't signed or agreed anything. Help!! where do I go now as he is furious and things are turning nasty. -- has he committed a criminal offence forging my signature and do you need one to return the log book

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If the car was in your husband's name he doesn't need your signature to sign over the registration at the DVLA. Forget about any criminal offences he may or may not have committed as you'll never be able to dredge up the evidence to prove it.
Get a written report from the garage and then advise your husband that, unless he collects the vehicle within a reasonable time, you're scrapping the vehicle as it is of no value and unroadworthy. Then advise your divorce solicitor - forget the amicable bit, that's just a ploy by your husband while he bleeds you dry or treats you like some half-wit. There is rarely such a thing as an "amicable" separation where there is a third party involved.
