How can a domestic partnership agreement address joint bank accounts?

A joint bank account is something that can be accessed by another party. If either partner made a decision to take all the money from the bank account, technically they could. A partnership agreement can lay out terms for how to divide the account. Should it be a 50/50 split? Should it be according to how much either partner contributed from the beginning? Working out terms can prevent a lot of headaches down the road.
