In this episode of the Divorce Chapter podcast, I dive deep into the often overlooked and insidious issue of financial abuse.
I share my own experience of being financially controlled and manipulated by my ex-husband and discuss how financial abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of age, gender, or economic status.
You’ll hear about the various forms it can take, from controlling access to money and sabotaging employment to accumulating debt in someone else’s name.
I delve into the warning signs to watch for, the profound impact it can have on victims, and the steps you can take to protect yourself or someone you know.
Whether you’re currently experiencing financial abuse, suspect it might be happening, or simply want to be informed, this episode is packed with valuable insights and resources.
Women's Aid: Offers support services and a directory of local domestic abuse services.
Refuge: Provides emergency housing, support, and advocacy for women and children escaping domestic violence.
National Domestic Abuse Helpline: A 24-hour helpline offering confidential support and advice.

Turn2us is a national charity offering information and practical support to people facing financial insecurity.
Tune in to understand how financial abuse works, how to recognise it, and most importantly, how to protect yourself and seek help.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to learn more about this critical issue and how to safeguard against it.
