Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I have a girlfriend who has been seperated from her husband for over 2 years, but they are not legally divorced....they are filing a dissolution. They haven't cohabitated in over 2 years either. She moved out. I have a personal savings and checking acct. I put her name on my savings account so she could put some money away. Her soon to be ex is claiming that he can file to have my savings account records, since her name is on the account and he should be entitled to 1/2 of the savings account. There is over $22,000 in the account, but only $500 of it is my girlfriends. I just got some money from a deceased uncle and the soon to be ex knows this. What are my rights? Should I remove her from the account?

Yes, remove her from the account, disbursing to her the $500.00 which

you say belongs to her and make sure that you keep a written record

of this transaction.
