The responsibility of the household finances varies in different relationships. Both spouses may agree to share or divide the responsibility. If one spouse decides to control the finances without the other spouse's consent, it is financial abuse. At WEAVE, we consider financial abuse a form of domestic violence. Please contact the Crisis Line at 916.920.2952 for support and resources.

You have several options. You may file for a Temporary Restraining Order or for full custody of your daughter.
