Separated, how much should I provide?

The money in the solicitor's account should be earnign some interest.

Have a good weekend and stay positive.

the interest is not worth the risk of a bank error and the cash going missing

leave it with the solicitor and sleep easier....

I'd think the odds of a solicitor error are far higher than a bank error.

Why the heck would a bank lose the money ? Does not compute.
Maybe Jack should keep it under his mattress :j

Just noticed a typo in your post duchy, so:
'I'd think the odds of [STRIKE]a[/STRIKE] this solicitor's error are far higher than a bank error.'
- hope you don't mind the correction:-)

because an inexperienced bank teller doesn't clock the unusual condition that 2 signatures are required and the cash goes awol. It's not like wife is reasonable.... this can be fixed but takes time, and why risk it?

Eh ?

An account with two signatures required is not an unusual circumstance .......and there is no suggestion that exMrsJ is dishonest and would consider committing bank fraud anywhere in this very long thread.

I think you are over egging the pudding

I think BW made a very good point, it's just hassle avoidance isn't it, or what we used to call common sense in the good old days ;-)

Smart but a bit worn; not your newest shirt, something a little frayed that has seen better times?

But not something the missus knows you wore for gardening when you live together?
