Wife walks out and cleans the bank account totally (large enough to nearly buy new house). Never comes back to see kids etc. Husband rearing 2 small children. Not divorced. House in his name. If he sells it, what if any repercussions financially?
Possibly nothing - or possibly a boatload including a contempt of court conviction and jail time.
You're going to need to provide more information than that (and probably be providing it to a family lawyer instead of this forum)
Not sure if there would be jail time especially if account held in joint names and withdrawals only required one signature. That's not illegal, nor is walking out of a marriage .
Part of the information required would be whether there are other orders or issues with the house, such as family court orders or injunctions, or caveats on the property. Breaching family court orders might land you some jail time in a worst case scenario.
But seriously, this person should be going to see a family lawyer before doing anything like selling the house.
