Does my husband have the right to debit money from my account? I have allowed him debit several times before. We are now separated, but not legally separated.
He does not have the right, but he may have the authority. When someone allows another person to do things such as write checks on an account often enough, those acts may be considered ratified.
If you want to ensure that your husband doesn't tap your account again, talk to your bank. You'll probably be required to close the account and open another under a different number to prevent him from using the old number.
