Abstract

Financial abuse is a form of violence that can extend well beyond intimate partner relationship breakdown. A survey of 540 Australian separated parents examined how financial abuse was perpetrated, with a focus on child support and other government systems. Women reported that their ex-partners minimized and withheld child support payments to inflict direct financial harm, while interactions between the family court, taxation, and benefit payment systems were taken advantage of to threaten or control them. Findings revealed how the mandatory and complex Australian child support system provided perpetrators with a useful means of perpetrating financial abuse across households.

通过政府系统实施的分居后经济虐待：澳大利亚母亲子女抚养经历调查》。

经济虐待是一种暴力形式，其影响远远超出亲密伴侣关系破裂的范围。一项针对 540 名澳大利亚分居父母的调查研究了经济虐待的实施方式，重点是子女抚养费和其他政府制度。妇女们报告说，她们的前伴侣尽量减少和扣留子女抚养费，以造成直接的经济伤害，同时利用家庭法院、税收和福利支付系统之间的互动来威胁或控制她们。调查结果揭示了强制性的、复杂的澳大利亚儿童抚养制度是如何为犯罪者提供了在家庭中实施经济虐待的有效手段。
