Marital asset - can he just take it?

I'm hoping someone will be able to guide me here?

The separation between my husband and I has now turned bitter. My decision to separate: very long story....!

His latest move is to announce that he intends to come to collect the family car from me tomorrow with his mate. Effectively leaving me and our children carless and having to walk half an hour each way to school, and him with 2 vehicles! Can he legally do this? The car is in his name and on hp but does it count as a marital asset? Until the last 6 months I've always paid the car loan. Insurance is in my name.

Do I just hand it over to get shot of him and make do with the inconvenience? Or do I have grounds to refuse? One of my children has medical needs and often needs taking to the hospital or doctors at short notice which is 5 miles away or 2 buses.

Any advice grately appreciated

"Thank goodness. But I'm taking legal advice on the proper division of marital assets and you can't just take stuff ahead if the financial settlement"
