You need to get copies of that misappropriation and immediately file for dissolution of marriage and get restraining orders served on her so the money doesn't disappear good luck

She is responsible to the community for the funds she took. Get an attorney and go into court and request she return the funds or at worst half.

Don't put any of the money in a joint account and file for divorce and ask that her mother's account be frozen so no one can withdraw the money.

You should keep tract of all monies that went into your joint account. Then stop depositing any money into the joint account and open an account in your name alone. In the context of a divorce she will have to account for all monies taken.

There is nothing you can do until you file for divorce. In the process of the divorce case, all the facts can be shown and, if your wife's actions are found to be wrongful the court can determine an appropriate remedy or adjustment in all the other financial issues.

Nothing, except close all joint accounts and then seek a credit during the dissolution proceedings for your half of the funds that she took.

You need to call a divorce attorney right away. If you want to have a right to get that money back you need to file for divorce asap and file a motion for a restraining order on assets and request that the money be returned. As for her squirreling away money in her mom's account, you'll have a hard time proving that and it may cost you more to prove than you would get back in court. Call an attorney today.

You need to file for divorce very quickly and ask the judge to order her to give you back the money she took.

You might consider opening a new account, under your name only, depositing your money into it and trying to work out your differences with your wife or proceed with your divorce.
