Do you think life would be easier if spouses didnt have a joint checking account??

My ex-husband one wrote 8 checks to liquor stores in one month and never told me he wrote them. The overcharges back then added up to over $100, and that would have bought a lot of groceries back then, not to mention the amount of money he spent on whiskey. I left him one time a couple years before we divorced and went back to him but had my name taken off the checking account because I didn't want to be responsible for his hot checks and trying to keep a balance. He tried many times to get me to put my name back on the account but I told him each time if he wrote hot checks it would be his problem and not mine any more. As far as I know he didn't do it after that. I do think it's better to have separate checking accounts.
