If you left him on the account then there's nothing the police can do. By leaving him on there, you gave him legal control/ownership of the money on the account. Why wouldn't you remove him when this happened? Doesn't make any sense.\


Add to the fact that if you where in witness protection, they wouldn't have let you have an account where both have access, and the fact that the family shouldn't have been able to find you, and you have a really fishy story.





Regardless of the witness protection thing, you gave him legal ownership and control of the money in the account by keeping him on it. Sorry for you, but it doesn't take a great amount of power to figure out if you leave him on an account that he'll access it once out.Need legal advice..my husband in jail with a restraint order screwing me over?
This is alot to take in.....First there are shelters/programs that will help you get back on your feet especially since you have childrn. You r in the witness protection program??? r u in the mafia or something?? If you are in protective custody then there are social workers who will handle your divorce etc...that is your fault that you did not protect your assets, forget about that...Keep taking steps forward, don't look back.


And DON'T be a wimpering, helpless victim...people have SO MUCH ADVICE when they r not walking your path...forget them!! Ask them for monetary help and see how much their comments are really worth then!! Get a job, explain the situation to your new employer and build your life again...not easy but MANY have done it before with LESS than you!!


And be so careful of the next relationship!! We have a tendency to choose the same type of man wrapped up in a different package!
Your question is complete non-senses.
You had 2 children with this man and now you're claiming he is mentally ill?





Forget the chump change you had in the bank, get a divorce and move on with your life.
Well, with a restraining, or protective order, he can't come with in however many feet of you, and whomever is listed on the order.





About the account situation. Why would you leave you money in a joint account with him. While it may not be morally right, since his name was on the account, he would take whatever money was in there.





You don't need a lawyer to get a divorce, they actually have kits for do it yourself divorces. If you do not have children or a lot of assets, then this is the way to go.
If you can show the money was from your wages and none of it was his, you can put it on the divorce complaint, however, he will probably not agree to the divorce; you'll have to get a court decision. Most courts do have divorce forms if you can't afford an attorney, ask the clerk of court. Check the self help web sites.
If it was SSI money for a child that he took, report him to your caseworker. That money doesn't belong to you or him; you are trustees of that money and must spend it on the welfare of the child (same is true if it was your SSI). Show up in court on the 25th and make a victim's statement. Get help from victim's advocacy groups.
First of all, I would go to the local bar association. They can help you out with your situation and direct you to the best lawyer for you. Also, look for legal aid. They usually go by your income status and sometimes work out a payment plan for you. Good luck with everything!!!
