It depends on what assets you are trying to protect. If it is a bank account that he is trying to spend, you can request a protective order from the Court and freeze the account. You can move funds from an account, but you will need to be able to show where the money went. If you acquired the money during the marriage, it is considered 1/2 yours and 1/2 your spouse's. If your Court has a pretrial standing order, refer to it for more guidance.
