Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
Hi my name is wayne i do have a legal questions, but do to financial strain at this moment if this is going to cost anything at the end dis reguard the question and i will find the answer by other means thank you.
the situation is that i am in the rears for child support in which i do not deni and have no problme paying, except i have been unemployed for 3yrs but i have been paying with my unemployment. My unemployment recently ended. so here is the question can the courts freeze my joint bank account with my current wife even if i am not the primary account holder? according to state which was also behind this said that they can not freeze the joint account if i am not the primary account holder, when state looked this up it said i was the primary account holder on the account in which this is not true my wife had the account before i did and added me later. I also called the bank and they also verified that i was not the primary account holder, so my question is can i get that hold off by letting the courts know this or what ?

It sounds like you can. Try a motion and see. The worst that happens is the that the court says no.
If your name is on the account as an owner of the account, whether primary or not, a creditor can freeze the account to collect money. Separate accounts are the only solution to this.
