Legal Question in Banking Law in California
I am a member of a credit union. I am trying to get my ex-husband removed from my bank account. The divorce paperwork stipulates that that account (referenced by account number) is mine entirely. The bank will not accept this documentation and are requiring for him to sign a form, and provide the hard signature. I do not know where he is.
Why can't they go off of what is in the divorce paperwork?

Without knowing what "the divorce paperwork" is, I can't tell you why they won't accept it. There are many possible reasons. It seems, however, that you are doing this the hard way. The usual way to deal with this in a divorce is for the spouse who is entitled to the funds to take the money out of the old account, and then just open a new one in their own name.
