Will the bank take your name off of the account once it is no longer overdrawn? If not, your just going to have to bite the bullet and call the ex. It may take both signatures to take your name off or to close the account so that he can open a new account in only his name. If he refuses, withdrawing money from the account doesn't violate CRIMINAL law, but it is more than likely not allowed in your divorce decree. If he is uncooperative, you could withdraw money when it is deposited, setting it aside to return to him as soon as your name is no longer on the account, but I would only do this as a LAST resort.
