My wife who is a US citizen residing in the USA has informed me that she is divorcing me. We got married in the US and she was insistant we open a joint bank account there. I have never used the account or even had access to it (stupid move, I know). I returned to the UK with the intention of rejoining her upon application and receipt of the relevant visa. Now I am concerned that her motives may have been sinister and that she may use or already have used the account to run up debts in my name. The bank will not remove my name from the account as I do not even have an account number or a social number to give them to access the account. They have told me I need this and that I should ask my soon to be ex wife for it. I am reluctant as I fear that if I give her warning that I want to cut financial ties she may go on a spending spree and saddle me with debt. What is the best way for me to legally protect myself finanically in this situation?
