Client received a check in her name and her ex's name

Does anyone know the procedure for returning this check and having a new check issued for each person?  She tried to deposit it to her bank account, but, of course, the bank refused it.

But, I don't know if the IRS will issue new checks after the returned check. Worst case, she gets the EIP credit on her 2020 return filed in 2021.

If the intent is to cash the check and divide the cash, this may be a case where a check cashing storefront may work.

Oh wow, awkward unless they get divorced yesterday and one of them got married today.

Can they both go into the bank together? They might be able to do a deposit with cash back.
