Greetings. I would include ANY account that has his name on it or had his name on it on the date of separation (or during the marriage). YES, include that account. Thank you.

The response posted above is based upon the limited factual information made available and is not intended as a full and complete response to the question. The only reliable manner to obtain complete and adequate legal advice is to consult with an attorney, fully explain your situation, and allow the attorney sufficient opportunity to research the applicable law and facts required to render an accurate opinion.

Finally, I’m handling life and bills. My accounts sometimes appear like they have money but by the time I pay everything its empty. How does the court view each person’s bank account? Meaning, if you have some savings, how is it viewed and does it become a part of equitable distribution. Money in my account is used for bills and living - no extra.
Greetings. Money and bills existing on the date of separation are looked to for determining the amount of property that exists to divide. Ongoing account activity after the date of separation is typically not relevant to how much marital property there is to divide, unless one party is spending marital funds recklessly. I hope that answers your questions. Thank you.
