My divorce with my wife is pending. She is in India. As I am in US, I transferred 5K from her account as I knew her account password and have all cheques and credit/debit cards.
Now she is going to complain to Consulate in India. Will there be any serious problem may arise for me/ my visa/ green card?
The money which I withdrew from her account was given by me only. My fault is that I withdrew money and put that into my account and got her account blocked.
Please guide what could happen ? Should I deposit the amount again to her account? While disputes were on peak, she wrote me a mail saying that I can withdraw amount from her account as it is not her money. Will that email be a proof to save me ?

You're covered by the e-mail

You withdrew money that you were not entitled to withdraw. The money is not yours and you didn't have permission to take it. Technically you have committed theft and should be arrested and charged with the offense. If you are convicted you may well have your applications for a visa rejected on the basis of your criminal record. If you need to ask whether it is a crime or not not only are you a criminal, but you also have no conscience. You should be deported immediately.

If your name was not on her account (as joint account holder) then you have violated about 4 - 6 US law. (approx. 99 years in jail)
She can not give you permission without first notifying the bank and the necessary documents signed. The bank should have prevented this from happening. The Bank is also liable. She can sue the Bank as well.
Second anyone could have sent you that email even if the origin of the email came from personal email account. Any one can hack a system or an email account.
You obliviously need help in many ways!

Dude, we're not attorneys, you really need to contact whomever is handling your divorce in California.
But here's my personal perspective---as long as you two are still married (and there's no legally filed separation agreement or any other court documents that state otherwise)---that's YOUR MONEY, too.
She shouldve changed her password.
Good luck.

You have failed to say where you were married at and is there a legal separation? If in the USA, then you have little fear as it could be construed as "joint property" and most courts overlook it. It becomes a he said she said issue. I can't be your conscious, but the email protects you it appears if it is dated prior to you taking the money.

The e-mail is sufficient to save you, in the US i do not know the laws in India.

Take the e-mail.......just don't know how anyone can prove she sent it. I'd just say be willing to pay it back. Should be interesting to see how that works.

I think anytime you take anything that is not yours is STEALING!
And you knew this when you did it.....duh!
If divorce is to be then accept it, put the money back and go on with your life...You'll have a clear conscience when you start over.

If you gave the money to her, it is not yours any more so you stole it from her and should give it back. Her e-mail was an emotional response and shouldn't stand up in court.
Do the right thing. You know you should.
