About The Program:

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Not all abuse is physical. Financial Abuse can have a devastating impact on victims and often entraps them in abusive relationships.

This program will address Financial (Economic) Domestic Abuse. In the U.S. 1 in 4 women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Financial control is often a component or the source of the abuse. Financial abusers often control their victims insidiously, by limiting their access to money, impeding their ability to support themselves so that they can break free of the relationship. Financial Domestic Abuse keeps victims trapped in toxic, dangerous relationships. The New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act does not specifically address Financial Abuse. Other countries have revised or are considering revising their Domestic Violence laws to specifically address Financial Abuse. This program will address the need for amendment to the New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act to include Financial Abuse. The Program Panelists will discuss case law wherein the Courts have addressed Financial Abuse, explore how to identify Financial Domestic Abuse, how to address it and effectively represent victims.
