There are a lot of possible answers to your question. I will ask you a question and see if that helps you. Did you put half of the money into the account? Or if your not working and she is, did you do anything to help her put money into the account? Like house work, babysitting, child care, cooking, doing wash? It is sad relationships end and it is even more sad when you are not honest about ending them.

Ohio is an "equitable distribution" state, which means that the court will decide what is fair in splitting the married couple's assets. Everything the couple earns or buys together after they get married is subject to division no matter whose name it is in. In fact, if he can prove that she put the money in an account with only her name on it to avoid division, the court may award him the entire value of those assets as punishment!

Well I dont no what the law is in each state. I dont no for sure but I think that if she open that account before him and her were married she should be able to keep it. But if some of the money was his put in there then it should be divided. But today things are much different
