Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
Two months ago I fled my home and business and am now living in a domestic violance shelter. My husband and I jointly own a profitable small business. The day I left, he diverted all of our accounts receivable into new account with his name only. He left our original business account open but has not put funds into it. He also cleared out our personal accounts so that I would not have access to them. I am wondering if this is considered embezzlement? ....He has also used the funds to finance his own legal case including filing for full custody. Thank you

What you described, dues but exactly spell embezzlement. But, ciiwners each have a right to the proceeds. You probably need to consult with a family law attorney, in the area. There can explain how to get access to finds for legal fees and living expenses.
Good luck
