No. A joint account means that the whole amount belongs to both so either party can take any or all for themselves.

No, as she has an equal ownership interest. The only possible exception would be if a divorce proceeding had been initiated. For more information on the crime of Theft in Florida, please visit my website at www.richardhornsby.com.
