WILL MY WIFE HAVE ACCESS TO MY PARENTS’ BANK ACCOUNTS IF I AM ON THOSE ACCOUNTS?

QUESTION: I am on my parents’ personal and business accounts, to enable me to handle their business in the event they need me to do so. When I file for a divorce, will my wife be able to have access to this account since my social is on it?

MY RESPONSE: Your wife can "discover" information about the accounts from you since your name is on the accounts, but if the accounts are bona fide business and personal accounts of your parents from which you haven't drawn funds for your own use or deposited community funds into those accounts, your wife will likely have no right to any funds in those accounts.
