I always advise my clients to freeze all of the joint accounts. A person who is getting divorced should request that their bank should "freeze" their accounts in question and not allow monies in or out of these accounts without authorization by both parties.
In your case, then a court will in most if not all cases will provide for reimbursement. However, it may prove to be impossible to actually collect any monies that were improperly taken from a joint account. It may take a person months or even years to try to collect the monies that were misappropriated from a joint account.
