good direction or backsliding?

I know I was worried about my car loan/title being only in my wife's name, but in my case once I spoke to a lawyer was able to confirm that since it was acquired while we were married the specific name on it didn't matter and it was just shared marital property. Since things can vary by state, and whether the mortgage was acquired before or after marriage might matter, it sounds like it would definitely behoove you to see a lawyer for clarification. That could help you be prepared if your wife resists you moving back, threatens legal action or police, tries changing locks, etc.
