<prompt> Human: Hello rpersonalfinance,Im really hoping you can help me figure out a tough situation. My mom, sister and I rang in the New Year with my brother and his partner fist fighting at 4 in the morning. Those two violent, alcoholic idiots have got to go. They both live with my mom and sister in NM Im visiting from a different state for the holidays, they work as servers at chain restaurants, and they frequently get drunk and violent. Especially my brother. Oh, and theyre both bipolar.I say all of that to illustrate how irresponsible they are and how hopeless my moms situation seems right now: two years ago, she took out a loan for 2 cars. My sister 17 at the time got a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta for 10K, and my brother 21 at the time got a 2010 Dodge Charger for 12K. As bad as that sounds, she did something even worse: both loans are solely in her name; she did not have my siblings cosign. I dont know what possessed her to do something like that, especially when she has a car payment of her own and was 5 years into bankruptcy at the time. My sister is pretty good about making her monthly car payments on time, but my brother is not. In fact, he hasnt been making his car payments which means my mom is and hes only been making partial payments on his auto insurance, which is unacceptable. On top of all of that, hes a nasty, violent drunk who has on numerous occasions driven while under the influence. He has actually crashed his car while driving drunk, which damaged the front end of the car. The front fender needs to be replaced, there are scratches along the passenger side, and there is actually a hole in the floor on the drivers side - I dont know how he managed that. He should have had the cops called on him a long time ago, and he definitely doesnt need to behind the wheel any more.Given that my mom still owes 9K on my sisters car and 10K on my brothers, is there any possible way that she can get rid of his car without taking too much of a hit? What I was thinking was that we could take both cars back to the dealership my mom got them from, trade both in and then come out with a used car for my sister. I dont know if thats the best solution, but its the only one I can think of given the gravity of the situation. We dont have a lot of wiggle room financially - my mom makes 40K a year, but has 3 car loans out at the moment, and about 150 in savings. Her savings used to be a lot healthier, but thanks to my crappy brother, shes had to decimate it in order to make his car payments and insurance. Oh, and his cell phone bill hes still on the freaking family plan - why? I dont know. Believe me, these are questions I keep asking my mom.What the heck can we do? I appreciate any and all suggestions. tl;dr My mom needs to get rid of my alcoholic brothers car, but its damaged in and the loan is solely in her name. How can we get rid of it?  <response>: Unless your mom is asking for this help then you are probably wasting your time trying to help. Not being snarky just trying to offer some perspective.If she is seeking a solution then she should just let his car get repossessed and take the credit hit and move on. Or she could sell either of the cars since she is the owner and continue to help your sister in any way she sees fit.Having a sibling myself that gets tons of financial support from my mom while pissing away her own money I feel for you.Your mom needs to be aware that if your brother hurts someone driving drunk she can and will be sued for the liability of any injuries or damage and possibly even criminally charged for providing a vehicle to a known drunk driver.Lots of Prosecutors are going after the enablers these days especially in the US.I hope your mom is receptive to your concerns and the help you are offering.
