Nephew and his wife ended up having to get completely separate accounts. No joint accounts for anything. She is not on any of his and he is not on any of hers. They decided whom was responsible for which bills and do not pay the other's bills. If the lights go off it's his fault and they are off till he pays the bill. If there is nothing to eat it's her fault and they don't eat until she has the money.

She did not work but got paid from his account for a pre-agreed budget to take care of her responsibilities. He said they only had no food to eat just once and she got a handle on her spending. She was mostly buying clothes.
