3. Limit Access to Joint Accounts
Remember also to review all your accounts and see which accounts are joint
accounts. There are times when it will be impossible to close the accounts until
you reach a divorce settlement. But you are free to talk to the institutions that
you hold the account and let them know of the situation. They could help you
limit account access thereby preventing them from being depleted.
Conclusion
During the divorce proceedings, it is important to carry yourself appropriately.
Refrain from speaking angrily and saying things that might be used against
you. Do not threaten your ex and also avoid running up massive bills with the
joint accounts. Also, do not have conversations with your ex alone during
proceedings. If you must have any contact, make sure you do it in the presence
of a third party or a representative. If you conduct yourself in a manner that is
above reproach, your chances of receiving concessions during a divorce will be
much higher, especially if your spouse behaves poorly.
