Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Re: joint accounts and credit cards

First, there are scams all over the internet and via email of this nature. Chances are that your spouse is being defraded and the person in Africa is telling her he needs money for a plane ticket to meet her or to clear up some immigration issue.

Second, if your spouse is an adult, ther is very little that you can do about hte situation. If she has control over the money, she can use it as she deems fit unless you have filed for a divorce or a legal separation.

Third, you can seek to freeze any joint credit cards or withdraw money from joint accounts to make them inaccessible.
