Banking Alerts

We are regularly called with fears about the wife taking the contents of the bank account.  Once a divorce is filed  the court is able to issue orders prohibiting such action.  However, not everyone is ready to file divorce.  If you aren't and aren't able to take exclusive control of the bank account, then keeping a close eye on banking activity is important.  Banking alerts, available with most major banks, allow you to set up email or text alerts that notify you of transactions.  They are also available with many major credit cards.  Once the alerts are set up, keep an eye out for unusual transactions.  If she does drain the account, make sure you get help right away.  If you let time pass she may be able to spend it before we can help.
