The H is once again gone for the weekend. Drew almost $200 out of our joint checking account to visit a buddy who lives in the same town. Isn't this illegal while the divorce is pending? Found a receipt from his last trip to Houston with his biking buddies (forgot his bike) that detailed a purchase from floral and a corkscrew???? Oh, I'm not suspicious! ROFLOL Not only is he in the fog, he's gone completely stupid! Somebody keep me from throwing things!

Why on earth do you have a joint checking account while in the middle of a divorce? Even if it is so that he can make deposits for child support or whatever, you should immediately withdraw what's your and put it into your own acount! It is not illegal for one owner of a joint account to completely clean it out, if that's what they chose to do. Either of you could drain it at any time.<p>So, which of his biker buddies do you think he bought the flowers for?<p>[ February 10, 2002: Message edited by: Charynne ]</p>

I had really had no advice to the contrary on the checking account. He had opened a separate account some time ago, supposedly so he could get the bills straightened out. Anyway, the mediator had him give me his online password to all (we think) accounts so I could keep track of all the money changing. Also, half of what is in his private account is mine. I'm still numb and not used to not trusting him...but I'm getting there real fast! I do have a separate account which my paychecks will go into so he can't touch them.<p>Which biker did he give the flowers to? The one he's riding, of course!

You sure haven't lost your sense of humor! That's a valuable asset to have under circumstances like yours.<p>Take some of that joint money and go see a lawyer. A mediator's role is to help the two of you come to an agreement, not to advise either of you on your legal rights and responsibilities. You can't make informed decisions without information, right? And don't sign ANYTHING without having a lawyer look at it and explain the legal ramifications of what you're agreeing to.<p>Good luck. Keep laughing.
