Call your bank. Each bank's policies may vary. An easier solution would be to withdraw your money, then open a new account in your name only.

Can only 1 person close a joint checking account?

It turns out that the answer is yes, which was rather a surprise to me. A person I know closed her joint checking account (with her husband) after her divorce, because he kept overdrawing on the account. She tried to have her name removed from the account, but they wouldn't do that without him; however, bizarrely, they were perfectly happy to simply close the account on her say-so. (This may have been practical: they may have just decided "it's better for us to close the account than to take the one person who actually puts money IN off the account.")


Can you drop your name off a joint checking account?

Yes it is possible to do so - PROVIDED - the account is in credit and the other account owners agree. It is best to do this in writing (see related question below). If the account is in arrears (overdrawn) the bank will not let you do this as you are joint and severally liable for the debt.


Deposits go on debit column or credit column?

Debit the account that is receiving the cash and credit the account that the cash is coming from. Because debits always equal credits, every transaction (including a deposit) must have equal debits and credits. For example, if you are depositing $100 received for a sale, debit the checking account and credit the revenues or sales account. If you are depositing $100 that was received from a customer to pay off an accounts receivable, then debit the checking account and credit that customer's account in accounts receivable.


If you hqve a checking account in an overdraft condition can you open another account in another bank without having the account attached to the first account?

Yes, you will be able to open another bank account at a different institution until the bank account that is in overdraft decides to report you to check systems. Once you are reported to check systems as having owed a bank via a checking account, it is very hard to get off of it and that may prevent you from opening a bank account pretty much anywhere. Most banks check check systems.http://paymenttransactionsystems.comhttp://merchantpos.net

Does child support have the right to withdraw money from your checking account even though they are taking it weekly from your wages?

You should know how much you are paying in Child Support and it sounds rather odd they would take it off your pay check and your checking account unless you aren't making enough money at work to cover Child Support. If this is the case, then yes, they can take that money from you. You should know exactly what you have to pay re Child Support and keep tabs on what is being taken off of your pay check, plus your checking account. You have the right to demand receipts to be sure the Child Support is going directly to your child or children.
