Yes and no. If you put money in and took money out during the marriage, it's a marital account even if not jointly titled. That being said, I would advise you to close the account immediately and put the money in a new account. Save all statements, withdrawal slips, and deposit slips, for that money may have to be accounted for in equitable distribution.
