What To Do If Your Spouse Emptied Your Joint Bank Account

Listen as Florida family law attorney Linda Gruszynski explains what to do if your spouse emptied your joint bank account.

First, you can get relief through the court if you are already in the divorce process or if a Petition For Dissolution of Marriage has been filed.

If you have not begun that process yet, you might want to think about doing so. If your spouse spent or withdrew all the money in your joint bank account, that may be a sign of trouble. It depends on what the money was spent on or if he or she mentioned it to you beforehand. Make sure there are no misunderstandings.

We can determine if it is appropriate to seek relief through the court by showing, perhaps, bad faith on the part of your spouse. If you have children, and you don’t have money to take care of them, you should move quickly. The court process is not fast. It can take some time before you get in front of a judge.
