Section 2286-5.0 - Transfers Involving Divorced Owners5.1 The Division will transfer a vehicle title with the names separated by "and" to a divorced owner when the divorce decree incorporates the division of assets and identifies who receives the vehicle. A division of assets may not be incorporated into the divorce decree, but it may still be a valid agreement between the parties regarding the transfer of marital property to one party or the other. A division of assets that is not incorporated into a divorce decree may be acceptable as long as both parties signed the agreement, the agreement is notarized, and the agreement clearly identifies the vehicle and which party is to receive the vehicle. The divorced owner who received the vehicle in the division of assets only needs to sign the back of title to transfer the title or drop the other party's name. In the absence of any division of assets, both parties must sign the title when a vehicle is titled using the word "and" between the parties' names.2 Del. Admin. Code § 2286-5.0
