Can I legally withdraw the money from my husband’s bank accounts?
My husband has gone to jail and is facing jail time for 2 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. Im the one that called the police. He has two bank accounts with money from our joint taxes and some from our insurance company for roof repairs. We file jointly and my name is on the insurance but my name is not on the bank accounts. Can I legally withdraw the money?

Are you a signatory on the account? Or do you have any other legal access to it? Then I would speak with ana ttorney in the area on the matter. The funds are with out a doubt joint funds but I would worry about with drawing from them if in fact he has to pay resititution or a fine or some thing else. Please take the time to seek legal help with this. Good luck.
