Financial Abuse? Ex Controlling
Finances or Dragging Out Legal Battles?
Financial abuse is one of the most overlooked forms of control in high-conflict divorces and co-parenting situations. If your ex is restricting access to money, refusing to pay support, or using the legal system to drain your resources, they are weaponizing finances to keep you trapped. This form of control can be just as damaging as emotional or physical abuse, leaving you feeling powerless and financially unstable.
Signs of
Financial Abuse
Withholding Child or Spousal Support – Delaying payments or refusing to pay altogether
Dragging Out Legal Battles – Filing unnecessary motions to exhaust your resources
Controlling Joint Finances – Restricting access to bank accounts or refusing to divide assets
Sabotaging Your Stability – Interfering with your job, credit, or financial independence
Manipulating Expenses – Leaving you with debts, unpaid bills, or refusing to contribute fairly
How to
Protect Yourself
Document Everything – Keep records of payments, agreements, and missed obligations
Get Legal Guidance – Understand your rights and explore enforcement options
Separate Finances – Open individual accounts and establish financial independence
Use Court Orders – Ensure child/spousal support is legally enforceable
Seek Support – A financial advisor or legal expert can help you regain control
You deserve financial stability and freedom from control. If you're facing financial abuse, you are not alone—there are steps you can take to reclaim your independence and secure your future.
