Unless you have a stipulation in your divorce decree regarding responsibility for the loan, you are stuck until the loan is paid off. The only one who can repossess the car is the company who holds the loan, but the amount owed would still be outstanding. You could see if you could get him to refinance the loan on his own...I am not sure about your liability if the car is totalled without insurance to cover it. Meanwhile, pay all of your bills and work on getting your credit into shape. If you can save money to pay cash for a car "for now," that would help you for the short term.
