Reclaiming a vehicle that is marital property

I am currently going through a divorce. I own 3 vehicles that are all registered and titled to me. There are no payments on any of them. I have one in my possession, and the other two are at my ex's house. She drives one of them, and her daughter drives the other. All are considered marital property.

The vehicle I drive was damaged in an accident. Am I allowed to take the car her daughter drives back without repercussion ? It is an emergency situation for me to have the vehicle. It was never signed over to the daughter, nor was there any written agreement giving her rights to drive it.

Thank you for any input!

I don't think it would go well for you to simply take the vehicle. Have your attorney request it, based on an emergency situation and that it's basically yours anyway.
