Unfortunately, for some individuals, a marriage
might be on shaky ground. During times
like this, individuals could be talking about the
possibility of divorce. There could be disagreements
and strife in the marriage itself.
In a lot of marriages, there might be arguments
and differences of opinion. There could
be hard times but the individuals might not
actually intend on getting a divorce. In many
marriages, this is very much the case.
Some individuals, might have a hard time
deciphering whether or not they are just in
difficult times in their marriage or whether a
divorce is actually about to take place. Some
truly may not feel as if they know the intentions
of their spouse.
Every situation is different, therefore, uniform
rules can not always be applied. But one fact
that might very well lead a party to know the

A warning shot that a divorce is coming:
Money is being moved
intentions of their spouse is the moving of large
sums of money from a bank or investment account.
The laws of every state vary. For this reason,
a party should consult with an attorney who is
licensed and competent to practice law in their
jurisdiction. Generally, parties are not to move
marital funds while a divorce is pending or reasonably
anticipated.
But in some circumstances, a party might move
money anyway. They might move it from a joint
bank account, or investment account, into an
account in their name. Some individuals might
not move all the money, but maybe just a portion
of the money without any advanced notice
or conversation.
While this might not be a sign of a looming divorce
in every circumstance, this can certainly be
a big warning sign in many cases that a divorce
is about to come. After all, why would a party
be moving significant sums of money (without
any discussions or agreement about this) otherwise?
In some marriages, the couple might
agree to maintain separate bank accounts. This
is normal in many marriages because some parties
might have different spending and saving
habits.
But when significant sums of money are
being moved without any prior notice or
conversation, a party should certainly be
concerned. In many of these cases, it might
be time for a party to begin considering
their options quickly if this has happened to
ensure that marital money is not transferred,
concealed, dissipated or encumbered without
their assent — and without their ability
to bring it back into the marital estate. The
reality is that the movement of money is often
a significant sign that a divorce is about
to be filed, and to prepare appropriately if
so.
