My father hit my mother, left the state – can she withdraw from joint account

r/

Location: Oregon

My father hit my mother in the head knocking her unconscious after she yelled at him to stop hitting their dog. She requested he sleep at a hotel for the night, he instead rented a car and has left the state.

Can she withdraw from their joint account? We are concerned he will. What can we do now that he has left? He hit her 4 days ago.

    Of course, it’s a joint account.

    Location may matter here. She should file a police report and should consider filing for divorce if they are married.
