I paid for my motorhome with my mum's money which she left me but my partner sighed the receipt. We were not married at the time but are now who is the rightful owner as we are separating.
I believe the registered owner is the person named on the log book. As you are married then it would probably be considered a joint asset and therefore you would each be entitled to half the value each.
I believe the seller has to sign the form that gets passed to the dealer or new owner. Seller has to be the owner.
I think if you bought it with your own money pre marriage, and have proof of that, it’s your asset & not shared. (Been there, done that in my own split.) But get legal advice.
I think you are talking points of law here, and may be best to seek professional legal advice, Citizens Advice may be a good starting point for free but initial qualified advice.
Never been divorced personally, but friends who have, seem to have had married assets split no matter who paid for them, or when they were acquired, which has been grossly unfair in terms of who funded the actual asset!
Think you may need to get your financial records in very good order to support any claim you funded the purchase.
