my husband moved money from our joint account

[smc2652]

My husband announced that he wants a divorce last
week, and has since moved all of our money from our
joint account into his own account which I have no
access to. We have not filed for divorce yet.

Do I have any recourse at this point?

I live in Massachusetts.

$ taken

I have found that possesion is 9/10ths the law.

Get an attorney. Get one today. Borrow money if you have to. Removing the money from the accounts does not make it his. It's not over till the fat lady sings and I haven't even started humming!

A salesman telephoned a household, and a four-year-old boy answered. Salesman: "May I speak to your mother?"

Boy: "She's not here right now."

Salesman: "Well, is anyone else there?"

Boy: "My sister."

Salesman: "O.K., fine. May I speak to her?"

Boy: "I guess so."

At this point there was a very long silence on the phone. Then:

Boy: "Hello?"

Salesman: "It's you. I thought you were going to call your sister."

Boy: "I tried. But I can't get her out of the playpen."

You will probably get the same song and dance of how he bet it all at the track or lottery and its all gone. Trust me possesion is 9/10th's the law.

Money taken from a joint account. Hmmmm... Moved into his own account? As long as it is still there when you file, it is fair game. Don't wait too long! Possesion is NOT 9/10's of the law. It just makes life more difficult for the other person.

$ take out.

If he took the $ out of a joint account and deposited it into his own account, you can bet your ass that it is not there anymore. He gambled it away, or lost it at the track. Sorry, I dont have it anymore. You can't get nothing from nothing.

That is why she files for legal seperation immediately. If the money is still in his account then during the Discovery process it will be 'discovered' that the money WAS there. That amount will then be split. It does not matter if he has spent it all. He will have to pay her back.

This is why people should see an attorney before announcing they are leaving.

$ taken..

Exactly, but if he has already taken the $ out and the account that is his only shows nothing and then she files, she will get a big goose egg. I have seen it too much. And usually if she is awarded $, it is a "get in line to get the $" many people already ahead of her. Like you said before leaving file the paperwork, it protects assets.
