I am company secretary for my dhs business, and am an authorised signatory for cheques on his business bank account. Things are not good between us and I am planning an escape for dc and I, and whilst I can save some cash before we go its not nearly enough for a deposit on a rental place. I am worried about what we will do for money before the divorce has been finalised, would I be within my rights to issue a cheque for x amount into my bank account just before I leave, without him knowing? He would be absolutely raging with fury (no domestic violence ever between us but he does have an impressively short fuse) and unless I know for certain that I am not breaking any law he would try to convince me that he?ll have me locked up.
Am also keeping my eye on our joint savings as he has a habit of dipping into it.
Thinking about it I must be a shareholder too as in the past he?s paid money from the business into my account (I then transferred it to him) as a dividend to use up my tax allowance when he?d reached the upper earnings limit on his income. Not sure whether this is relevant, or whether I can even locate his cheque book if it turns out I could do this.
Any experience or advice here would be very welcome.
