[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell her no and mean it. Your the man of the house, act like it. Take away her credit cards / debit card. Give her only a tiny cash allowance each week. If you want it to stop you have to take action.[/quote]

If the debit card is from a joint account, calculate how much you’ve contributed to that and withdraw the amount to place In another account only controlled by you. [/quote]

If they get divorced, their assets will be split 50/50 and OP may need to pay alimony if he's the higher earner.  All this aggressive, contemptuous stuff is going to backfire on OP.  I agree if the visits are $100-150 multiple times a month and it's causing financial hardship (though I do wonder if OP is exaggerating--those more exaggerated details emerged as people criticized him to bolster his case) they need to sit down and figure out a workable solution. 
Pretending he has any power to "cut her off" financially is absurd: their assets-- regardless of who earns them and where they are housed-- are joint in a marriage unless a portion are inherited and not intermingled.  These suggestions are ways to escalate the problem.[/quote]
