Re: Joint checking account Loshyra: Well, banks will not allow you to take her off that account without her being present to sign the forms as well.
Open a new account, with your name only. Change any direct deposits and bills over to the new account. Do it fast!
Re: Joint checking account Lumpy: Close the account. It is well worth the headache. If you can't close it without her signature, zero balance it and cancel the auto deposit on your paycheck.
Re: Joint checking account PennyLane: Just remember with your name still on the joint- you'll still share the responsibility of the joint debts. But at least she wont be able to spend whats not there. Let the bank know whats going on. I had to do this exact thing.
Have them put a block so that she can't take out more then whats in there. My ex would keep on withdrawing acruing numerous over-draft charges.
You can tell them to block her from being able to do this.
Re: Joint checking account Freckles: Insted of Her getting off the Account.
