I closed the last account my ex controlled
Dear Delyara, My former husband controlled all our finances. When I left, I discovered bills in my name, subscriptions I did not know existed, and a joint account he could still access. A domestic-abuse service helped me open a safe account, redirect income, freeze disputed debts, and document financial abuse. It took nearly two years to untangle everything. Today, the bank confirmed the final joint account is closed and my ex can no longer view or move any money connected to me. The balance was only £12.43. I asked the bank to transfer half to him because I wanted the account divided exactly. Then I deleted the banking app we once shared. Financial freedom did not arrive as wealth. It arrived as a screen showing only accounts he cannot enter.
