financial abuse
Monetary manipulation tactic
Financial abuse is a form of control or exploitation in which one person manipulates another's access to money or economic resources.
It commonly occurs in domestic relationships, where an abuser may restrict a partner's employment, control all finances, run up debt in their name, or withhold funds for basic needs: She couldn't leave because of years of financial abuse.
Elder financial abuse involves exploiting vulnerable adults through theft, fraud, or coercion.
