Infancia alterada en pleitos por la custodia de menores

In this article, the disputes of mothers and fathers about the custody and visitation of their sons and daughters are analyzed, through an interpretation of their narratives. It focuses on cases where divorce is conflictive, evidencing a significant presence of forms of gender-based violence, with and without a judicial complaint. Through stories, I analyzed the previous situation, the judicial process and the relations between the ex-partner once the definitive judicial measures had been taken in relation to the children. Nodal but not very visible elements are identified and analyzed at each moment of the judicial process: in the initial situation, the uncertainty experienced by the absence of rules of coexistence. Then, the difficulties posed by judicial rituals in showing complex situations and the mothers’ dilemma about whether or not to report the inconvenience their children may suffer for fear that they will not be believed. Finally, the emergence of new types of covert violence, such as financial abuse related to pensions and custody harassment. Divorces in which conflict becomes chronic can disrupt children’s daily lives. En este artículo se analizan las disputas entre madres y padres por la custodia y el régimen de visitas de sus hijos e hijas, mediante una interpretación de sus narrativas. Se focaliza en los casos donde el divorcio es conflictivo, evidenciándose una presencia importante de formas de violencia de género, con y sin denuncia. A través de relatos, analizo la situación previa, el proceso judicial y las relaciones entre la expareja una vez que se han tomado las medidas judiciales definitivas con relación a las criaturas. En cada momento del proceso judicial se identifican y analizan elementos nodales pero poco visibles: en la situación inicial, la incertidumbre vivida por la ausencia de normas de convivencia. Luego, las dificultades que plantean los rituales judiciales para evidenciar situaciones complejas y el dilema de las madres sobre si informar o no de los malestares que pueden sufrir sus criaturas porque temen no ser creídas. Finalmente, la emergencia de nuevos tipos de violencia encubierta, como el abuso económico vinculado a las pensiones y el acoso de custodia. Los divorcios en los que el conflicto se vuelve crónico pueden alterar la vida cotidiana de las criaturas.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Elder Mistreatment in the Community: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study

Prior population-based elder mistreatment (EM) risk factor research has focused on problem prevalence using cross-sectional designs, which cannot make causal inferences between proposed risk factors and EM or discern existing cases from new cases entering the population. This study sought to estimate the incidence of EM and identify risk factors for new cases. It is a ten-year prospective, population-based cohort study with data collected between 2009 (Wave 1) and 2019 (Wave 2). Based on Wave 1 random, stratified sampling to recruit English/Spanish-speaking, cognitively intact, community-dwelling older adults (age ≥ 60) across New York State, this study conducted computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) with 628 respondents participating in both Wave 1 and Wave 2 interviews (response rate=60.7%). Ten-year EM incidence was regressed on factors related to physical vulnerability, living arrangement, and socio-cultural characteristics using logistic regression. Ten-year incidence rates included overall EM (11.4%), financial abuse (8.5%), emotional abuse (4.1%), physical abuse (2.3%), and neglect (1.0%). Poor self-rated health at Wave 1 significantly predicted increased risk of new Wave 2 overall EM (odds ratio [OR]=2.8), emotional abuse (OR=3.67), physical abuse (OR=4.21), and financial abuse (OR=2.8). Black older adults were at significantly heightened risk of overall EM (OR=2.61), specifically financial abuse (OR=2.8). Change from co-residence (Wave 1) toward living alone (Wave 2) significantly predicted financial abuse (OR=2.74). Healthcare visits represent important opportunities to detect at-risk older adults. Race is highlighted as an important social determinant for EM requiring urgent attention. This study represents the first longitudinal, population-based EM incidence study.

The Effect of Abusive Factors on the Emergence of the Financial Abuse between Partners: An Exploratory Study for the opinions of a sample of married women within the geographical location at Duhok city specifically Avro City

It remains the dominant concept when talking about intimate partner violence that physical violence is predominant, predominately in academic researches and reports published by media. In this study we focus on another form of unseen abuse that is committed in close partner relationships. It is an economic abuse which is likewise indicates to as financial abuse in a wide range of the literature. In this study we concentrate on five factors that affect the financial abusive which are Engaging in Activities, Culture & Traditions, Financial Skills, Financial Knowledge, and Financial Illiteracy. The research sample include only married women within geographical location at Duhok city specifically Avro City, 120 electronic form of the research questionnaire was distributed on the respondents, and about 105 form were valid which represent a percent of 87.5% from the distributed questionnaire. The results revealed that there is a significant and positive correlation between the five abusive factors and financial abuses at the levels of research variables. According to the conclusions We suggested that there should be more interest in our society to increase women's awareness of how to manage their income and to have an opinion and a role in managing their own financial affairs and managing family finances.

Financial abuse of older people by third parties in banking institutions: a qualitative exploration

Financial abuse is a significant form of elder maltreatment and is frequently ranked in the top two most common forms of abuse perpetration. Despite this, it is under-identified, under-reported and under-prosecuted. Financial institutions, such as banks, are important environments for identifying and responding to the financial abuse of older people. Traditionally, banks have not always been part of inter-sectorial responses to financial abuse, yet are important stakeholders. The aim of this study is to explore perceptions and experiences of financial abuse in five national banks. Data were collected from 20 bank managers and five members of the National Safeguarding Committee in the Republic of Ireland. Using thematic analysis, four themes were identified: defining a vulnerable adult; cases of financial abuse of vulnerable adults; case responses to financial abuse of vulnerable adults; and contextual issues. The data demonstrate the multiplicity of manifestations and the complexity of case investigation and management. Findings point to the need to enhance banks’ responses, through additional education and training, and promote integrated inter-sectorial collaboration. In addition, a change in societal beliefs is needed regarding financial entitlement, responding to ageism, public awareness of the consequences of financial decisions and types of financial abuse, as well as ensuring such crimes are addressed within the legal system.

Elder Abuse Vulnerability and Risk Factors: Is Financial Abuse Different From Other Subtypes?

Elder abuse (EA) affects one in six older adults, and financial EA, a common subtype, severely impacts victims and society. Understanding victim vulnerability and perpetrator risk factors is essential to EA prevention and management. The limited existing evidence about these factors in relation to EA types suggests that financial EA is different. In a cross-sectional quantitative analysis of secondary data ( N = 1,238), we investigated EA vulnerability and risk factors, and victim–perpetrator family relationship, with respect to different EA types (financial only, financial co-occurring with other types, and nonfinancial abuse). Financial abuse-only cases had the lowest prevalence of vulnerability and risk factors. Most of these factors, and a familial relationship, were significantly more common in cases involving other EA types. Findings indicate that financial abuse, occurring in isolation, is distinct from other EA types. Risk assessment and future research should consider financial abuse separately to other EA forms.

Financial abuse, statutory provisions and the courts: adequacy and analysis of enduring and lasting powers of attorney

Purpose Financial abuse can be difficult to detect, and it is deemed to have the same potential to cause distress as other forms of abuse. The delegation of financial affairs brings with it the scope for degrees of exploitation. This study aims to assess the adequacy of the statutory provisions and courts in England and Wales at protecting at risk older people from the harm of financial abuse. Design/methodology/approach This review focuses on the enduring power of attorney and the lasting power of attorney provisions. Cases discussed were selected based on their judgments’ significance in relation to these powers, the range of issues illustrated and the extent of associated commentary and attention received in the literature. This piece is presented as a narrative review, and as such, references to case law and associated commentary are non-exhaustive. Findings Shortcomings and vulnerabilities are identified and explored with respect to both provisions. These are contrasted and contextualised in view of the broader challenges and complexities associated with preventing financial abuse within society. Key consideration is given to powers of creation, registration, supervision, objection and revocation in addition to the role and powers of both the Office of the Public Guardian and the Court of Protection. Originality/value Given these powers of attorney are exercised during a donor’s lifetime, they will directly experience their effects. This review illustrates there remains scope for further reform to introduce new safeguards and bolster existing ones to mitigate the risk of financial exploitation and to support people to plan and safeguard their financial future with increased confidence and security.
