Can an ex be prevented from selling assets?

Yes, an ex can potentially be prevented from selling assets if there are legal agreements in place, such as a divorce decree or a court order, that restrict their ability to do so. Additionally, if the assets are jointly owned, both parties typically must consent to any sale. If there are concerns about asset dissipation, one may seek a temporary restraining order from the court. However, the specific circumstances and applicable laws will vary, so consulting with a legal professional is advisable.
