What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CT
I am planning to file on my wife ASAP. She has opened a bank account in her own name and a safety deposit box (this one she thinks I don't know about). A few months back she ATM'd $400 amounts several times and hid the money in our closet while she was having an affair, she had also been taking ATM cashback ($200) at the local grocery store. When I caught her she stopped and the affair ended 7 weeks ago. However, now I see she has been taking cashback on our discover card ($20-25) again that she thought she was sneaking and also been taking an normal cash as well as rebate checks and things and must be putting them there as well. Clearly, she has been detached and debating divorce (as have I) and granted we are probably talking about $2000 or so, but I want to protect her from just trying to keep doing this.
I know I am within my right to just start shutting down accounts (I am the breadwinner), but I'd rather just file. What can I do when I file to stop her from moving money. Hard to believe a woman I married for 20 years can stoop this low just because (I guess) she feels like she is going to get screwed in the divorce (sure like I am not as likely to get screwed!)
Thanks.
