A common issue that occurs at times of divorce is when a party has sole possession over a community property bank account. In this case, there are at times a concern that party will deplete the account which would prejudice the other spouse as there would be no more money left to distribute the community property share.
In a situation like this it is best to retain an experienced attorney as a perseverance of the funds is a priority. There are options at hand for the client and attorney to preserve funds. An option could be to have the funds transferred to an attorney client trust account and place a freeze on the money. There are other legal ramifications at hand, allowing an attorney to obtain court orders to make sure the funds are properly maintained.
