I am also hoping if there is anyone with similar experience with WAS taking money our of joint accounts/savings that they could share some advice on whether there is anything I need to be wary about or particularly consider in this situation.
Seek legal advice.
My understanding is either spouse can do whatever they want until one person files for D. At that point, there are legal requirements. Again seek legal advice for clarification.
If I ever open up another joint savings account, it will require both parties to sign to remove assets.
