S7 Ep72: What If Your Ex Empties the Bank Account Before Filing for Divorce? - ChooseGoldman.com

#ChooseGoldman Can your spouse legally empty a joint bank account before divorce papers are filed in Michigan? Yes, usually, if no court order prevents it, making immediate action essential if this happens to you. • Before a divorce filing and court orders, joint account holders typically have full access to withdraw funds. • If your account is emptied, file for divorce IMMEDIATELY to allow the court to potentially intervene regarding the funds. • Timing is critical; waiting significantly weakens your chances of recovering funds or getting an offset from other assets. • If funds were spent wastefully (dissipated), the court might still offset the amount from the spender's share of remaining marital property. • Courts may order funds returned or offset if the money was taken unfairly "in contemplation of divorce." 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=relvid28 For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-divorce-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
