If two people own a joint bank account and one withdraws the funds there has been no crime committed. Each has the right to the funds in the account.
It depends upon how the account was established. The original agreement by the married couple will state if the account is held as Tenancy By The Entirety, Joint Tenancy, or Joint Tenancy With Right of Survivorship. If there is no such designation the state default laws will apply. Although Maryland allows TBE, it is not an automatic defense in protecting a joint marital account. The decision as to whether or not the account can be levied when only one spouse is the judgment debtor is made by the presiding judge.

Not if it is a marital account held as Tenancy By The Entirety.
Yes. The very rare exception is if the married couple reside in a state that allows the account to be held as Tenancy By The Entirety and only one spouse is the debtor.
Yes. A judgment creditor can levy a joint account and request the bank freeze account funds until a decision is made on the percentage of ownership each account holder is entitled to.

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.
A joint bank account belongs to the surviving owner.
Yes. If you want to get out of a joint account, you can contact the bank and submit a written request to be removed as a joint holder of that account. The other parties involved in the joint account have to approve your removal from the account, only then the bank will complete the formalities.
