Economic or financial abuse is when a partner extends their power and control into the area of finances. This abuse can take different forms, including:
Giving an allowance and closely watching how you spend it or demanding receipts for purchases.
Placing your pay cheque or monthly income in their bank account and denying you access to it.
Preventing you from viewing or having access to bank accounts.
Forbidding you to work or limiting the hours that you can work.
Maxing out credit cards in your name without permission or not paying the bills on credit cards, which could ruin your credit score.
Stealing money from you or your family and friends.
Using funds from children's savings accounts without your permission.
Living in your home but refusing to work or contribute to the household.
Making you give them your tax returns or confiscating joint tax returns.
Refusing to give you money to pay for necessities/shared expenses like food, clothing, transportation, or medical care and medicine.
Do you have any tips for anyone going through or recovering from economic or financial abuse?
