Confused Embezzlement and Conversion of Personal Property

If a married couple have a joint bank account and both put money into the account, then they divorce and one person on the account closes the account and receives the money for closing the account - can that person be charged with Embezzlement and Conversion of Personal Property?

One person cannot close a joint bank account without the knowledge/consent of the other owner. If this has happened, contact your bank.

The bank only required 1 person to close the account - they said it didn't matter if it was a joint account.

Contact the bank's higher authority then. Two people have to close the account if it is jointly owned. If a person is named as a beneficiary, however, then that is a different matter.

It can certainly be brought up during the divorce proceedings. Inform your attorney of what has happened.
