Re: joint banking account to pay fines

Thank you for your inquiry. Generally, the answer to your question is yes, one party may unilatrally remove funds from a joint account. However, I need to learn more facts before drawing any further conclusions.

It would be my pleasure to speak to you about your potential divorce. Accordingly, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss further.

Very truly yours,
