Wife gets check, deposits check into account with only your name on it, then withdraws money from that account?
So basically she took money out of an account that has only your name on it?
Then it is the bank's fault. They should not be giving money to her.

The way I understood it was that she deposited/withdrew from the old, joint account, after getting a paper check instead of the DD.
 
my work won't direct deposit my paycheck into any account that does not have my name on it. is this your joint account she deposited it into? if it is, then i believe its legal. i think the best thing to do here, is take your name off the account.
 
as others have said she broke a few laws. She can't have it changed without your oK (i would be complaining hard to hr etc for it. this is a MAJOR mistake on there part) not to mention she deposited it in an account without your OK.

For deposit she does not have to sign it.

Bingo.

There are a couple of outstanding checks that I don't want to bounce so it has to be left open until these clear.

I think it's not illegal since she has control over that account. But its only on a technical basis. If you really care taht much you can talk to a lawyer.

Not all of them just a large proportion. I just hope I don't turn out hatin' on all women because of this... I've already informed HR at my job to not allow ANY account accesses to her in the future and have closed all the joint accounts except the one that has outstanding checks.
 
For future reference, always open up separate bank accounts if things start to get really rocky and separation is imminent!

It was illegal for her to get the paper check in the first place.

The rest is fine.
 
Whhy don't you just cancell the checks then close the account and call the people you wrote the original checks to and rewrite checks to them from your personal account. having that join account is keeping you open and liable for her to order a whole stack of checks and have a hay day at your expense! Close that D##N account before she rips you clean! And sever all joint financial accounts with all bills, credit cards, etc... These can all come back to haunt you and your credit history for YEARS to come...
 
Before all of you respond, the author (Nitemare) of this posting should have indicated ALL the facts first.

1. What lead Nitemare?s wife to deposit his paycheck & withdraw only October?s rent? Hmm, maybe it?s his continued threats of "cutting all financial" responsibilities and using that as a lever to his own advantage is simply "illegal" in a sense of the word.

2. The fact that the Nitemare wrote this simply tailor it to make him sound Angelic and to have you (the readers) respond makes me wonder why you would just ?bust? the wife for a one sided non complete partial fact. It?s incredible. Like all court decisions, you should gather ALL the facts.

3. As discussed with an attorney, the account it was deposited, which Nitemare failed to mention, is a JOINT account. Hmmm, have you all heard of ?community property?? The amount removed was *again, not mentioned by Nitemare* was the rent for October that was ALREADY promised to assure that his wife can have a place to stay until the lease ends. **Note...Nitemare also failed to mention that there was a verbal threat on his part saying, "you better be careful, or things may not be paid." (Prior to the entire situation)

4. Nitemare also failed to mention that the only shared vehicle that is used, he literally abandoned the wife at the credit union last Friday after taking her car keys an hour prior. Stranded to fend for herself in a place where she has NO family or NO real friends to not only find a way home, but also the lack of money that he chooses not to share would answer your questions of why not take a taxi or bus ride.

5. As far as work is concern, the one to blame, are several people. The company first for not instilling the NO INFO GIVEN UNLESS...That is just common sense that the payroll person failed to do. The wife identified herself as ?the wife of?? and information was given. You may ask, how do I know this? Simple, I was on the line when the payroll person failed to do their job. Again, what Nitemare failed to mention.

A. NO information was changed on any permanent basis meaning; the wife did NOT ask to change the rerouting on the check into any direct deposit?it was already a manual check for that pay period! Again, please get all the facts before you "Cut that bitch off." What was asked was ?will it being sent to the JOINT account?? The information freely given by this employee payroll person was her fault. NOT ONCE did this payroll employee ask for any type of identification verification whatsoever. No mention of a SSN or verification of a home address. NOTHING. So there was no deceit on the wife?s part. After the wife stated the concerns regarding when the check would physically be received by the husband, it was stated that although payday was on that Friday, he (Nitemare) would not physically obtain the check until that following Monday.

B. Now, failing to mention from Nitemare regarding this joint account situation was that there were other things in the account waiting for payment in which he had failed to mention to the wife that HE spent without HER knowledge. So to have OUTSTANDING OR BOUNCED checks, was not mentioned here. Again, obtain ALL info before you "Cut that bitch off"

C. Again, regarding this check, it is true that it did NOT have her name on it, but the deposit, again, failed to be mentioned. was into their JOINT ACCOUNT. Remember, the only funds removed were the promised rent in supporting her living condition for that following month. Had she had the desire to "rip him off", wouldn?t she had taken the entire payroll amount???? After the fact that she did let him know her intentions...a job he wanted her to hurry up and obtain...please explain to me what was to be gained of him driving to that temporary employment and him going there intentionally rolling down the windows and blasting music so she couldn?t work there anymore, yes, that very same job he wanted her to obtain in the first place? I just don?t get it. YES, these facts were sooooooooo conveniently left out and unlike many, I DO know the facts.

Oh yes...let me tell you more...Nitemare failed to inform all that his wife had been sick for quite awhile and agreed to support her as she tried to recover from her illness. It is a mold illness that if you or anyone here did any research is still new to the medical family and treatments have not all been successful.

He agreed to take up another job in March, in which as the stress increased, she asked for him to either quit, alleviate the hours and he said NO. Instead of discussing all concerns with her regarding their marriage, the finances or the emotions of how much the stress was hurting them, Nitemare turned to his online addiction and decides to confide to the many online women and perhaps gave the Angelic side of EVERYTHING. And now Nitemare is devoted to an online woman and states to his WIFE that he informs them of the fact he is still married. If he failed to mention the mere fact of the above subjects, DO YOU REALLY THINK HE DISCLOSED THAT INFORMATION IN TRUTH??? So not only is the wife trying to recover from being so ill from mold exposure, trying to find a job after being out for a while and trying to save a marriage in which she still tries to give all, she now has to deal with the fact that her husband is searching for any form of comfort or pity party from ANYONE, including people on this board.

So in general, to make Nitemare seem once again...Angelic, he HAD to leave OUT the crucial information listed to make it seem that the wife is being a bitch here. Every time that the facts are presented to Nitemare, he cowers away and refuses to deal with it then and there and should he find himself at fault, walking away is his only solution. I know ALL this and I am not the wife.
 
Fr: johngute~ "Tell your employer that check was stolen. You may have to press charges." YES...then also mention that the payroll person did NOT take the time (common sense lacking here) to get the important information such as the SSN to identify...HELLO!!!!!!!!!! Oh yes, and another failed mentioned information, when Nitemare confronted the payroll employee, that person LIED regarding what date the entire conversation had taken place.

Fr: Aharami~ "seems like your ex is screwing you. screw her back... in a legal manner" How is getting the money for rent that was stated by Nitemare screwing him???? He didn?t tell her of the monies removed in which she was accounting for regarding the 3 remaining checks that was still not paid.

Fr: Nitemare~ "Hell hath no fury like Nitemare pissed off...and to think I'm actually paying for all her utilities at the moment." You forgot to mention in the forum that this TOO was also promised and you threaten to remove if you don?t get YOUR WAY.

Fr: Cvsin~ "If she changed the info with your employer your employer has some explaining to do" nothing was changed. They asked for a present address, it was given. Even if Nitemare had a new apartment, please note...he still lived with the wife during AND after this incident.

Fr: Gurck~ "All women are filthy lying golddiggers. " just what a man would say that got burnt but again did not get the important information that was simply left out to look as if he would never do a thing like this.

Fr: Gooberlx2~ "I read the OP as she's not quite an "ex" yet." EXACTLY.

Fr: Sundog~ "The paper check still has to be signed by you. So even if she has it she can not cash or deposit it without committing forgery."...His name is still in the JOINT account. Again, he removed some monies without her knowledge. Then this too should be illegal, right? Please understand that the wife did inform the husband of what her intentions were regarding the check when it was received. She explained to him ALL that she was going to do with the check. Unlike him NOT telling her of the monies removed. BTW...prior to the deposit, only $11.00 was in the account and 3 or more checks were still out.

Fr: Nitemare~ ?Bingo. There are a couple of outstanding checks that I don't want to bounce so it has to be left open until these clear.? Yet you took out monies without informing your wife??????

Fr: Nitemare~ ?Not all of them just a large proportion. I just hope I don't turn out hatin' on all women because of this... ? Well we know that this is not true because you have already gone OUTSIDE of your marriage instead of trying to work things out.

Fr: Coquito~ ?Stone her!? GET ALL THE FACTS FIRST!!!!

Oh I personally welcome ALL AND ANY retorts for this entire thing I posted. Just remember, the story should be obtained on both parties before you suggest things on situations that was not fully disclosed. By all means, if I am willing to answer, please ask Nitemare why on a few things and see if he will respond in entire truths.

Are you the wife's boyfriend?
 
uh, people there is no need to quote that ridiculously long post. we're all intelligent people here (except for nightmare, apparently), so let's try to minimize the amount of real estate each post consumes. mmmkthxbye.

::goes to the gym. looking forward to some interesting reading material upon return::


=|
 
NO unlike the husband, the wife has not stepped out of the marriage to consule or rely on online so called "friends"

Nope, I am not a sister, but I do have the facts...something you should ask Nitemare to verify.
 
I am sorry, I will not respond to anymore sarcastic responses because like I said in my long RIDICULOUS but VERY TRUTHFUL response to Nitemares complaints, it just says it all.
 
If it was here it would most definently not be legal for anyone to cash your checks without referral from you.

I don't know how it works in the US though but DonVito or DevilsAdvocate are probably the ones you should be talking to here regarding this matter.

Best of luck Nightmare, divorces suck.
