If I'm not legally separated, do I still have rights to our joint bank account(s)?
Question Details:
My husband and I are separated and have been for 15 months. I reside in SC, where I am told there is no technical "legal separation". I remain on the joint checking/savings account though I have my own account and have been responsible for my own bills. Am I allowed to withdraw funds from this account? Is there any limit on the amount?

There are no restrictions simply because you are not residing with your husband. There is a lot of aspects to being separated, divorces, marital matters, etc. It would really, really benefit you to have a consultation with a family law lawyer so that you understand this and a number of other matters.
