Economic abuse
Behaviour by a person that is coercive, deceptive or unreasonably controls another person without the second persons consent:
– in a way that denies the second person the economic or financial autonomy the second person would have had but for that behaviour;
– by withholding or threatening to withhold the financial support necessary for meeting the reasonable living expenses of the second person or a child, if the second person or the child is entirely or predominately dependent on the first person for financial support to meet those living expenses.
