cleaned out bank account

[lostincanada]

My wife and I have a joint checking account in Michigan. She cleaned out my account without my permission, and hangs up after saying hello to me. I am deployed in Iraq, and military law will probably not help me because she name is on my account. I filed for a revocation of power of attorney, so she can't get loans from this account. I have been calling and sending emails for a week, with no response except "hello" and a hangup. What can I do from here?

My response:

"Do" about what? Would you care to be a bit more specific with your question?

I want to know if I can get the money back she took from me.

My response:

No. It's a joint account.

I was paying her $500 a month to pay for expenses. Do I still need to support her? She makes more than me, but recently lost her job.
