What would happen if the car had been Maxine's yet as she was at home with children, did not go out to work and did not purchase the car using an account in her own name? Also, what would happen if, once again the car was Maxine's and it was bought with monies from the joint account that she shared with her husband, as their money went together in one account every month?
Many women share accounts with thier husbands and many do not go out to work due to family responsibilities. Where then does "proof of ownership" lie?
