Hi there, in the middle of husband having abandoned me and 4 kids. Complicated in that he has gone to the UK and I'm not there.
We have in assets :
1 ISA in my name
2 ISA in his name
3 2 endowments with me as lead name on one and him on the other, to mature in 2019, in 5 1/2 years time.
The ISAs were started as TESSAs and before than were a life insurance policy my father had set up on my birth and which matured on my 18th birthday, then it went into a Post Office Savings account through university, then into a joint current account briefly then place in 2 TESSA accounts which became the current ISA accounts. So there is a trial of evidence from my life insurance policy as a child almost a century ago, through to the current ISAs. The ISAs have been filled almost every year to the maximum, all from the joint current account.
Now my husband has gone through a complete mid-life crisis and after this money having an almost 50 year history and never a single withdrawal, other than to change from TESSA directly into an ISA and changing bank from ISA with one bank to ISA with another bank. He has spent about half of the ISA in his name. It's the equivalent of 1/4 of our life savings, he has done it in 4 months. How do I go about putting a stop on this as Nationwide don't want to help me and how can I possibly attempt to recoup this money? Or do I cry and cry for the next few years watching half life savings and half my children's university funds being spent at Superdry and at Amazon marketplace. I would make you all vomit if I told you the exact purchases, it is very very sad for my kids, there is a woman who appears to be spending it for him, as he really doesn't fit into her clothes. To say I am livid is getting nowhere near my emotions. I wish I could name and shame the 2 of them here but mumsnet will not allow me too.
Please if anyone has a good legal mind, I'd appreciate some tips.
Thanks
