without knowing which country you are in I can not say yes or no, but..I am in a similar situation here in England.

My marriage broke up in May. My wife took the joint account with her as it received her salary, and i maintained my own account.

However, my wife decided to declare herself bankrupt and as a result, the joint account is frozen, my own personal account frozen, and furthermore an account in the names of myself and my mother also.

So, essentially i think the answer is..yes, but, not directly. It depends upon how your wife behaves in respects of any accounts where your names as listed together

Can your salary be paid into a bank account in a different name?

No. A person's salary can be paid only into a bank account that is held by the person to whom the salary is paid. For ex: if I work ABC company and get a monthly salary of USD $3000, the money can be credited only into a bank account that has my name as the account holder. It cannot be paid into your bank account.

Can a joint bank account be frozen by a judgment creditor?

A joint account can be frozen by a judgment creditor of one owner. That can cause not only an indeterminate period of inconvenience for the non-debtor owner but also may result in the loss of half of the funds in the account. You should not open a joint account with another person who has a history of debt problems. You can read more about frozen bank accounts in general at the link provided below.


Who can freeze a bank account in Louisiana?

Who can 'freeze' a bank account in Georgia?

A bank account is "frozen" by the court upon request of the plaintiff or judgment creditor for a specific period of time. This action is sometimes used on joint accounts to give the account holders time to claim any exempt funds (SS benefits, monies belonging to a non judgment account holder, etc.) in the account before a bank account levy is granted. A bank account can only be "frozen" by court order or by the banking institution itself when there is proof that the account has been tampered with (identity theft, etc.) or other issues.
