You get half the monies. From all Joint accounts. Use of a lawyer is recommended.

Any money in joint accounts jointly belongs to both parties. However, if she's already moved it, there is little you can do without a court order. You should consult with an attorney and file for divorce as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, you have not given enough information for a solid answer, and a question on the internet without enough information, is useless. I cannot ask you the questions that I need to ask to make a valid conclusion about what you should do, other than say that you need to speak with a local family lawyer.

You may not be entitled to anything until you file for divorce. The money she moved out sounds like it is a Marital Asset. Therefore, you would entitled to half of the money disbursed through the divorced proceeding. Good luck.

Assuming the funds in the accounts were marital funds, generally not more than one-half of what she took. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation and your options.
