Family member able to buy own apps using own credit card?

My wife and I just split up and we have a family sharing account. I still have my credit card attached to the account, but my wife is not able add her own card for own purchases etc. Is there any way to work around this?

She can add store credit to her account, but the existing card will still be the payment method of last resort. Otherwise you might want to disband the family group. See Leave Family Sharing - Apple Support.
