Financial Abuse

Business Daily

Available for over a year

What should be done when someone uses their control of the purse-strings to manipulate or bully their spouse? How do you even spot financial abuse, and how should the law take account of it? The BBC's Vishala Sri-Pathma reports the cases of two victims in the UK. Presenter Manuela Saragosa speaks to Dee Holmes of marriage counsellors Relate, and to divorce lawyer Davina Katz of the London-based family solicitors Schillings.
