[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 516410, member: 1233"] You are totally making the right call. This is NOT the business's car, not legally regardless of who paid for it. Why was it put in YOUR name and under YOUR insurance? Probably bc their insurance rates are sky high bc they cannot set boundaries or limits with their adult daughter. So this is YOUR car and NO WAY should you EVER allow their daughter to operate it. How would husband and brother in law get to work after she wrecks the car? Not if, when, bc she WILL wreck anything she uses as long as she is so entitled. she has PROVEN this. Let them be ugly, they are the ones being idiots. protect yourself and your children. I had a LOT of people angry with me after I insisted that one of our cats be put to sleep. We did it through the humane society because we couldn't afford the private vet's fees. The very next weekend (2 days later) we were at a chldren's event in our city and dang if they did not have our cat in the adoption van as adoptible and good with kids. We decided to put the cat to sleep because no matter who owned him if he bit anyone then WE would be financially liable and we knew of recent cases wehre an adopted cat bit and did serious harm and the people who first owned him lost everything. This cat would go and find Jess and bite her if he didn't get what he wanted when he wanted it. I won't keep an animal that bites, just not going to happen. I had the people in the adoption van, TWO families with small kids (under 3) who wanted to adopt him, the entire staff at the humane society and two deputy sheriffs angry with me, not to mention my own kids, but I still insisted that they NOT adopt him and that he be put to sleep and we insisted on PROOF that they put him to sleep. I was NOT going to lose everything because someone decided I the cat was "too cute" to be put to sleep just because he bit. MY NAME was still on his records and it would still have come back to ME. This is very much the same thing. YOU, not husband, not the business, not sister in law or brother in law or their spoiled brat of a daughter would be the on SUED. Are you prepared to see EVERYTHING you own and all you could ever earn in the rest of your life go down the tubes and into someone else's pocket just because they want their daughter to have an easy way to get to work? WOuld YOU ever demand that they allow your adult child to use their vehicle to do something? Right now the legalities are that it is YOUR future on the line if she has an accident.
