FAQ
Joint bank accounts: What you need to know. A joint bank account generally works like any other checking or savings account. The difference is that two people—married or unmarried partners, parent and child, senior and caregiver—own the account and both have full control over it.
In Joint Tenancy in Virginia, all owners must control equal shares of the property. This is as opposed to Tenants in Common, where two people may own 50% each, or four people own 25% each, or some other portion of the whole. In Tenancy by the Entirety, each married spouse owns 100% of the property.
Any accounts opened during the marriage, contributed to with marital funds, or used for household expenses will all be considered marital accounts. However, it's also important to remember that only one name on the account does not immediately mean sole ownership.
If your spouse has a personal savings or checking account and are the only name on the account, legally, you cannot access the account without your spouse's permission. Only the person authorized to sign on the account is allowed access to the funds on deposit.
Any property possessed by either spouse during the marriage is presumed to be marital property unless it can be shown that the property is actually separate property. A court can determine the rights of the spouses in any pension or retirement plan or their rights under any insurance policy.
But there are a few key things you'll want to avoid doing during your separation that your Virginia divorce lawyer wants you to be aware of. Don't Date Without Considering the Consequences. Don't Indulge in Retail Therapy. Don't Vent on Social Media. Don't Give up on Co-parenting. Consult With Your Virginia Divorce Lawyer.
