Money in a joint account which only requires the signature of one to withdraw enables him to do this. If you are in the midst of a separation or divorce proceeding, you can bring this up as part of a division of marital property. You would be smart to set up your own account from now on and put whatever is left in the joint account in that, as well as your future deposits.
