What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

If the husband has emptied the joint savings account and placed it into an unknown place before the separation has been filed, is the wife still entitled to half? Also, the wife has been left without a way to pay a retainer fee for an attorney. If she uses a credit card that is solely in her name to pay for her expenses, will he be responsible for the debt as well? He is the primary provider.
