How do you divide a joint bank account?

A joint bank account is something that is owned/controlled by more than one person. So, to divide a joint bank account, the joint account holders have to come to an agreement as to who will be the sole owner of the account. Then, they must visit the bank and submit a written request. The bank will change the account to a single owned account after receiving the No Objection Letter from the other holders of the account.

If you have been sued for nonpayment of a credit card but everything is in your husband's name except your bank account can a judgment be placed against you and can they freeze your bank account?

If the debt is valid and proper legal procedures according to state laws is followed a judgment will be granted if the plaintiff wins the lawsuit (they will). Whether the joint bank account can be levied or other property attached by a lien or even a forced sale, depends on state laws and how the property is titled. For example, if you live in a TBE state, a judgment cannot be levied against a joint marital account, although the creditor might still try. If you reside in a community property state most debts are considered joint and both spouses are responsible, regardless of who is the account holder.
