Joint Vehicle Damage Laws

Summary

Damaging jointly owned property, even if both names are on the title, can be considered Criminal Mischief in Alabama. The severity of the charge depends on the cost of the damage. Legal action can be taken if the damage is intentional. For divorce without a lawyer, you can file for an uncontested divorce by agreeing on all matters, filing the necessary paperwork, and attending the court hearing. However, consulting a legal professional is advised to ensure your rights are protected. If you feel unsafe, consider reaching out to local domestic violence services for support.
