Can I get my checking account back?
I got married in 1983 and put my husband�s name on my checking account. Both of our names were printed on the checks, and we both used the account. Over the years the checkbook went back and forth, first I wrote all the household checks, then he did, then I did�
A couple of years ago when he had the checkbook he had MY name taken off of the printed checks from what was originally MY checking account, due to something his mother told him. I am still on the account, the banking statements are mailed in both our names, and I can still deposit and cash checks at the bank, but it bothers me not to have my name on our checking account checks.
Our marriage hasn�t been good for years but I stuck it out for the sake of the kids who are now out of high school with jobs, but living at home paying off school loans, one for tech school the other for one year of college. I am thinking about leaving and having a life of my own.
CAN I get my checking account back? Instead of starting over I would like to have the one that I started my adult life with.
AND how could the bank take my name off the checks just on HIS say-so when it wasn�t an account that he started anyway?
Thank you for your time!
