My gut reaction to this is yes, you could indeed.  You would have to have some sort of authorization - either from him or the court - allowing same.  I am assuming that it is an account that houses money from the marriage - earnings - and that it is considered to be marital funds, correct?  You need to have the court determine that and allow you access or temporary distribution.   Get help.  Good luck.
