not where I want to be
So, husband and wife are getting divorce. They still have a joint account. Husband has debit card attached to the account, wife does not. Wife takes husbands debit card (he previously gave her the PIN) and wipes out the account. Can husband dispute these transactions since it was HIS card? I think not, but wanted confirmation.

It's a domestic dispute.

If the funds were in the account and she was still a joint owner, she had every right to take every cent (just as he had the right to do so). Whether she does it with a check or a debit card is irrelevant.

I'd stay the heck outa their troubles.

even though she used HIS debit card, John? I am agreeing with you, just want to be 100% positive when denying the claim.

A card is issued to access the account. There are no his or hers regardless of who's name is on the debit card.

She could have just as easily walked into the branch and cashed a check.
