What are my options if I am not able to remove loan out of my name or remove her name off loan?

Unless the bank agrees to this, you can't do it. The bank probably won't so whoever has the car, should just pay off the loan.

Been separated 8 months can she take newly purchased items such as camper and boat?

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
In Texas, all property obtained during the marriage is presumed to be community property. As community property, it is subject to a just and right division. It is likely that a court would award you the camper and boat; however, all the property would be considered and divided in the divorce, including all the property in your wife's possession. Also, after the divorce is filed, you could negotiate the property division without having the court decide. If you can't come to an agreement, the court will make the decisions.

Is it possible to remove sponsorship if we divorce?

Kimberly Demetrice French
Answered by attorney Kimberly Demetrice French (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
Immigration sponsorship is a fairly complicated process, so I will give you some general advice, but I must preface it with a strong suggestion that you seek a consultation with an immigration attorney as soon as possible. It is unclear where you are in the sponsorship process;however, if you have already filed the Form I-864, you're legally responsible to support your wife in the eyes of the U.S. government, and the dissolution of your marriage does not extinguish this responsibility.
