If its a joint account, it is normal practice for a bank or building society to freeze the account once they are aware of a marital dispute.

It will usually be resolved by both parties visiting the Bank and agreeing to either close the account and withdraw the funds or removing one parties name from the account. Obviously both these options need the agreement of both parties.
