Q: Who asset is a minors money certificate during a separation?
I have discovered that my spouse has been sending thousands of dollars to a certificate at the bank that I do not have access. I can just see the money leaving. I asked him about it (after the financial affidavit) was submitted, and it was not listed as an asset for anybody. I called the bank, and his is listed as a guardian on the account. Does that make it is asset? And if this activity of moving the money was within the last 3 months, is this a way a spouse hides money? Considering 3 months ago is when he started cheating. Nowhere on our budget listed those items as an investment for the kids.
A:
This will need to be addressed at mediation and/or trial. There are a lot of factors that need to be considered. Where is the money that is being deposited coming from? Is the money truly for the benefit of the child? Is your husband the only person who has control over the account?
Make sure you keep any documentation showing the status of this account and depending on the amounts being deposited you may want to file for an injunction.
