If you're transferring your car title from one person to the other or switching from a joint title to just one spouse, the process is surprisingly straightforward. First, you will need to take the title to the state DMV. If liens are listed on the title, show up to the DMV with a lien release document in your hand. In the event that a judge awarded you the car, some states accept a standard copy of the divorce decree as proof of your claim. However, you may still need your ex-spouse's signature on the title. You will also need to sign the title before submitting the document to the DMV. Your state DMV will then provide you with a new title. (Make sure you have proof of insurance as well.)
