While the courts do provide some avenues for remedies and bank-restraining orders, it is best to identify the patterns at the start to get ahead of the remedial measures by the court. This week’s blog talks about what happens when one spouse drains the joint account, and what it could mean for your ongoing divorce.

For many couples navigating divorce, what happens to the house is often one of the first questions asked. The martial residence is often where some of the best memories of the marriage and family have taken place, and the house can often carry far more value than just the fair market value.
