Is it legal for spouse to leave and close bank accounts and not communicate with me about divorce proceedings

Assuming the bank accounts had his name on them, then he is within his rights to withdraw money from him.  Marriage is built on trust and he has betrayed your trust, but you presumably allowed him to have full access to these accounts.  However, if that money was earned during the marriage, then it is still a marital asset that can be divided in a divorce.  However, if that money was from his worker's compensation settlement, that may be his separate property, to the extent that it was to compensate him for pain and suffering or future wages.  Any portion that was to compensate him for past wages, during the marriage, should be marital property, which you may still be able to make a claim on. This answer is given in accordance with the laws of Virginia and may not be applicable in any other state.  It should not be construed as legal advice, as that would require a more thorough analysis of all of the facts involved in a specific case.  If you need further information or assistance, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. Case results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any future case.
