But the person keeps taking more money out well I'm trying to figre out what's mine still.
It sounds like you're facing a challenging situation. While I understand you're in California, the same general principles may apply: joint account holders generally have equal access to funds, regardless of who deposited the money. To clarify:
- In California, both account holders are considered co-owners of funds unless proven otherwise.
- Withdrawing all funds may lead to disputes or legal claims.
- You may consider freezing the account temporarily to prevent further withdrawals. Contact your bank for guidance.
