Sherri has lost all credibility with me so I find it completely believable that it was a mutually agreed upon withdrawal that she's trying to spin in her favor. But, yeah, if she allowed his name to go onto a joint account that was chiefly her money, then that's on her. I think so too. I'm sure the joint account is loaded with withdrawals this guy made to, well, LIVE. I don't think 20 grand sounds like that much either if he was going to see about this baby and pay for some things. Sherri is just digging for anything incriminating. I can't stand either one of them, so I don't want to sound like I'm on Sal's "side". But something doesn't quite add up with the spinning that they're both doing on it. Maybe I just watch too much Judge Judy, but I'm hearing her say that that is marital money, and if she didn't want him to have it - TOO BAD! Make a separate account. Judy would eat Sherri alive (and she'd hate Sal too, but legally it's Sherri who is being a moron here).

I'm mostly on Team That Poor Baby here, because it had no vote on coming into this trainwreck.

Can you really steal money from a joint account if it's joint? Isn't that the point of it, that the money belongs to both?

I guess while things were hunky-dory, the "joint" bank account with Sal's $17 and her $20M was okay with her. She was the dutiful, submissive wife, letting her husband control the finances. I'm guessing when things turned sour, Sherri was no longer comfortable letting him have carte blanche with the ATM card.

Can you really steal money from a joint account if it's joint? Isn't that the point of it, that the money belongs to both? I don't think so. If his name is on it, he has as much access to the money as she does. Draining a joint account at the start of divorce proceedings is dirty pool- but not illegal or technically stealing. Besides, it doesn't sound like he drained it so much as took a chunk of money she wishes he didn't have because now he's being a butt and she's mad at him. But when it was all flowers and sunshine- his name got put on the account so he hasn't really done anything wrong here. (In taking the money out that is. He's done plenty wrong in trying to use a baby as a cash cow- if that was in fact his goal all along.) Suze Orman, who has been on the View numerous times, always says it's so very important for women to have their own personal account. They can have a joint account with their husbands/wives/partners if that's really how they want to roll, but they need a private personal account that they can have for their own for emergencies or security. Even if it's all wuv true wuv and they're in it til the end- husbands/wives/partners can have accidents or illnesses that incapcitate them... or more typically, they can decide to split and drain joint accounts just out of spite. Sherri surely was around while Suze was on the View multiple times talking these points about women managing their money and keeping their money safe... But she might have been too busy pondering how flat the Earth is or what her pastor would think of Suze's advice than actually listening to the woman. I do feel bad for her because she was so obviously not prepared for this upheaval in her world... But I feel much worse for her son and for this baby who she may or may not have ties to now.

They haven't been married that long and what was his contribution to the Joint account since he wasn't working? If he pulled money out before filing for divorce, okay. But to yank money while in the middle of divorce proceedings? I'm calling foul on that one. The surrogate situation hasn't been settled yet!

GirlyGhoul, Sherri probably scoffed at Suze's advice; thinking it was against the church's teachings on marriage. Doubt she ever considered the possibility she was being played for a damn fool.

She went all Star Jones about the man being king of his godly kingdom (or whateverthefuck they say), so I'm sure he had control of her cash.
I saw bits and pieces of her farewell show today and was reminded of why I could never stand her (that and the big pic of her with Elisabeth seemed to constantly be on camera). Just a bug-eyed, over-sexed Jesus freak. In fact she ended the show praising Jesus... loudly.

Maybe she ought to praise her lawyers, they are the ones trying to save her from her own bad decisions.

The sad part is that she DOES have real comedic talent. We just didn't need to KNOW her personally. During her goodbye she said that she joined the show in the middle of a bad divorce - AND was leaving in the middle of a bad divorce. Probably one of the only things that made me laugh in the 6 or so years I had to watch her babble and praise Jesus (yet still manage to oggle and fondle men).
I'm not sure how this will affect her career. I'm guessing if you're still funny you can find success. But I'm personally so turned off by her that I will not seek out anything she's in. And we have yet to see how this divorce/baby drama will go. I'm betting that she's being advised to just throw some cash at the bum and let the whole thing die out. He'll probably settle, and I'm sure she's made millions over the years. I'm still torn on how I feel about the baby, though. Either you want the baby or you don't - a bum husband shouldn't make you wash your hands of the whole thing. At least that's how I'd think about it. Unless she only wanted the baby because he did ... who knows.
