You should bring this up with the bank. If they are informed of the situation they will most likely work with you.
The question
If a person has a joint account with their significant other and leaves the relationship due to domestic violence and the victim closes the account and opens a new one, does the bank have the right to put the other individual on the new bank account without the victims permission?
