Okay my boyfriend has a vehicle that was purchased back in 2007 Chevy cobalt his father co-signed for my boyfriend. His parents decided to have the car be a shared vehicle between himself and his sibling. (Saving money I guess). Well there has always been a jealousy dispute between the brothers on whom the vehicle really belongs too and who can have more use out of the vehicle? Since the parents of my boyfriend favor there second son more he was the one having more use out of the cobalt that is on my boyfriend’s credit history report. Crazy isn't it? Anyway my boyfriend moved out of his parents home in order to move forward with his life and his parents just forced my boyfriend to leave his car behind. His parents made the car payments and paid for the insurance for a whole year while my boyfriend’s brother used the car on a frequent basis. The car was being misused and mistreated, the parents were late on car payments and they didn't take care of any of the maintenance issues. The cars oil hadn't been changed in a long time and the car needed a fuel injection badly because oil was spilling all over the engine, and the brakes were grounded down so far I couldn't believe my eyes, also the rotors were like in powered form! I was told by my mechanic that if I had continued to drive the car in this condition I would have blew out my axel and had a huge accident. The transmission needs a flush and the spark plugs need to be changed along with the tires. The list of neglect goes on and on. The brother also was recklessly driving the car and got a two speeding tickets in one year one in which he had no proof of insurance while driving around in my boyfriend’s car. His parents have no comment and actually do not care about my boyfriends thoughts and feeling on his sibling using his car. My boyfriend did go down to a dealership to attempt to finance another car and found that he has his hands tied behind his back! Until the car is paid off under his credit he cannot get finance another car! Since the registration at DMV says (AND) and not (OR) my boyfriend has to get permission to sell or trade his vehicle! Since his father wants the use of the car for his second son and not the actual son that has his name on the car there is this big dispute! My boyfriend gained possession of the car back in November 2011 and ever since then his parents have been stalking him, sending my boyfriend threatening emails, text messages, threats on voicemail, contacting his friends and anyone in connection with there son in order to locate him and that car. His parents want to repossess the car! Now we've put a lot of money into the car to make it safe to drive, we've been making the payments on time and got full coverage insurance. His parents have been spreading rumors that my boyfriend stole the car and it belongs to his brother and to his dad. My boyfriend’s parents recently discovered where he works and are now contacting his employer making threats and have show up in person to stalk and potentially follow my boyfriend home. All the while his parents are also attacking me verbally and have spread lies to parents of my own family causing my family to not want any contact with me. Can you believe my boyfriend’s mother is a third grade teacher?? She keeps calling me a w****, home wrecker and an (IT) like I am a piece of sh*t below bacteria that I deserve a name like (IT). His parents have even drove all the way up to my boyfriends grandparents house with fake information that my boyfriend stole there car and he is allowing me to drive it around and I could cause and accident and kill someone, my name isn't on the car. Well BS my boyfriends brother is in the same situation except I never actually drove my boyfriend’s car and I continued to reframe my use of that car. Well my question is how do I stop the harassment? Before someone ends up hurt? Do I hire a lawyer and if so who can I higher that works on contingent? I need advice? We tired restraining orders but those fell through because we put our actual address on the forms and didn't know that his parents would be allowed to know where we lived even if the restraining order is denied. So can anyone help me please?????

It's not the type of case a lawyer would take on contingency. They take those cases when they expect to receive money. In this case there is no money to be received.
My advice, stay out of it. You have no say in what happens to the car, how it's been used (abused) etc. Your name isn't on the title or registration. It's is your boyfriends car. That's it.
As for the restraining order (personal protection order) if they harass you get one. So what if they find out where you live. If they violate the order they go to jail. Save the text messages and emails. They'll become evidence.
