Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Technically, there are two answers here: You can legally withdraw any amount from that account (just as she can) because it is a joint account. However, at some time in the future, you and/or your wife may be required to account for the money taken in the course of a divorce proceeding. If it is not being spent for family purposes, you may have a claim that she should be liable for same.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You will only be able to rely on advice from an attorney who you have actually retained.
