It depends on the nature of the joint account. If it is a minor account-the adult has control of the account. Some require two signatures, some only one. Sometimes, as in the case of a minor, one has control and the other just has signing rights. If you are equally in charge of account, you should make a complaint to the bank. You may have to sue other holder of account to get the money returned.
