You sound like this guy i know that confiscated his wifes checkbook.
If u live in chicago i can gurantee your name starts with an "A"
His wife normally pays by check at my salon, i have a seperate account on the side for checks when customers do pay by check.
Anyways to make a long story short, i accumulated about 300 dollars worth of checks from her, all within 3 weeks.
They got into an argument and when i did deposit the checks, "the husband" put a hold on all the checks she wrote to me.
I knew this because the checks when returned to me said "held funds" not insufficient funds.
Needless to say all the bounced checks made my account negative and i didnt check on the account for a month.
When i did check i was -568 dollars after all the fees for insufficient funds.
I still owe the bank -568 and have sent a subpeona out to this dude already.
Moral of the story is
Men get your women in check and if it ever does get to this point.
You need to reevaluate your relationship.
