Stolen Disability Backpay

[flashalex]

My question involves a relationship in the state of: Alabama. I deposited my disability backpay ($10,000) in joint account with girlfriend. She closed the account and put the disability in her personal account. Said she did not like the bank and we would open another joint account at a different bank and put the money there. Until we could decide on a bank, I have been giving her my monthly disability payments to keep with the lump sum backpay. Now she says she wants to move out and start a new life and needs my disability to do so. What, if anything, can I do to get my disability back?

You've been giving her your checks willingly, yes?

Is there a reason why you didn't open your own account?
