A pre-marital account that was not commingled could be used to plan for a divorce or pay for an attorney. However, during the course of the marriage, one party should not move funds into another account that the other person doesn’t know about, as any such action would be revealed during the mandatory disclosure process during divorce. If one spouse has tucked away marital money just for themselves, then that money will be subject to equitable distribution. Anyone who is planning on filing for divorce should contact an attorney who can help them determine how to legally obtain money that is needed during the pendency of the proceedings.
