The simple answer is yes, but you may want to let your spouse know about what you intend to do before you do it. Otherwise, there may be confusion that could cause headaches and time wasted clearing things up. You may want to check the details about any specific accounts you may be interested in, but there are accounts out there that allow you to have joint and/or separate accounts through a financial institution.

A Joint Savings Account is when two people have joint access to the savings account. If a Wife and Husband, Boyfriend and girlfriend, parents and child open a Joint Account then "either" one of them can access ALL the money in the account.

(Actually they would freeze separate accounts in the same household also) Good and bad parts are you both can access the money as needed, but the other person can "empty" the account with out your say so.

He cannot remove your name from the account. However, he can close the account and then open a new account with the money. Just remember this can work both ways.

Can wife add her name to his checking account without his approval legally?
No she can't as a matter of fact without his written permission she can't even get general information about that account. This is what I found to be amazing, if this couple has a joint savings account, but the husband's name is the only one on the checking account, he is the only one that can legally transfer money from the savings account to the checking account. It also works this way if there is a joint checking account and money needs to be transferred from the joint checking account, to the savings account with only the husband's name on it, he is the only one that can move money from one account to the other. I am a bank manager and I know this is more information than you asked for, but when I have to explain this to couples, it often leads to a very heated discussion between them in my office. I live in Virginia and I can only answer for Virginia. I hope you found this answer helpful.
