what legal steps can you take to get back money from a cleaned out joint account?
Completely depends on your location, circumstances and local law. Contact a professional.

Hi OP I worked at a bank and many people came in wondering the same thing. The truth is you can't do anything. You both signed for the account, therefore the money in the account belongs to both of you, there is no "oh we both own half, or I own three-quarters and the other owns one-quarter"
so go over to the person's house and break their legs until they write you a check for the funds.

pls no bully
>falling for the relationship meme
a 2d woman would never steal from you anon
>>1373313
Odds are there isn't much you can do. Consider it an expensive lesson on never allowing anyone to share access to your account. If the SO insists, you can always open a seperate shared account where you can determine how much you want to keep in there.
>>1373313
It's gone OP. I just hope you learn from this and never make this mistake again. How much you out?
>>1373609
25k
>>1373313
The joint account was in BOTH of your names. The money is legally both of yours, and the other party walking away with it is perfectly legal. Unless I am missing something in your situation, you're fucked.
>>1373313
Since you all are technically married/together/whatever, can you play ball? Is there a car in both of your names you can Reverse Cowgirl? You need to find some ammunition or something. Dirty photos, a buisness you can ruin, something.
Hahahahaha
How much did she spend on lingerie and dinner with Tyrone?
>>1373610
oh shit that sux bro
>>1373551
Sorry bro...
But you helped sign up for the system that fucks men on a daily basis.
>>1373610
why the fuck did you have 25k just sitting in the bank?
wtf anon
>>1373716
it was supposed to help out a famalamba member in that i could track their spending if it got out of hand and i could move the money to a different account id have to open up just to do
>>1373719
what?
is there really nothing i can do D:
>>1373719
"I wanted to track their spending because I was unsure whether I could trust them or not, so I gave them the ability to take $25,000 from me."
What the fuck.
>>1373719
Lmao. You are dumb. Never lend money to friends, family and fools.
>>1373876
>>1373889
I thought they were trust worthy...
there's really nothing i can do? like civil court or something?
>>1373610
Fffffuuuu. It only cost me 1.5K to learn the same lesson.
>>1373925
For that kind of money it's probably worth the hour it will cost you to ask an attorney.
>>1373719
aye that only cost me 6k but yeah shit gets out of hand. Even really successful people can be horrible with money. A good way to tell is when they're blow hards about money and have none.
>>1373925
you could try saving more pics from /r9k/, I'm sure that'll help
Get a lawyer
We're gonna need the full story if you want advice OP

>>1373313

>>1373925

What was the account being used for?
>>1373673

You're not better than OP - just still a raging faggot.
