A certain kind of property is not merely owned, but rather is held under some sort of document or written indicator of ownership, called "title". This includes real estate, motor vehicles, boats and trailers; bank accounts, stocks, and bonds. In such cases, ownership after divorce is not complete until title has been property transferred or otherwise dealt with.
As with every other part of your divorce, it is always much easier if your spouse will co-operate with you. If this is not possible, you can usually accomplish your goal some other way, but not always. If your spouse is not co-operative, then getting title is merely the first step - you still have to get possession. In some cases it means a lot to have possession first, as with bank accounts that could be spent while you are waiting around to get title. If you cannot get possession in any peaceful way, you may have to seek the help of a divorce attorney or give it up.
