According to a recent survey, almost a third of couples have experienced so-called ‘financial infidelity’, when a partner conceals money or debt.

Although they’ve been married for decades, he says she has no right to the pension cash, as it was saved before the pair ever set eyes on one another.
Is this true, and what’s the protocol if a spouse has a secret stash? Harriet asked Metro consumer champion Sarah Davidson what she’s entitled to.
