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?

how do you set up a family with 2 parents with equal rights How can I set up (or modify) family sharing, so it reflects the actual workings of a family with 2 parents? My wife set up family sharing, so she is the organizer. But i am just an adult. I can make purchases on her credit card (with her permission.) But i can't pay with my own credit card (family sharing was overriding other set ups), so I removed family sharing. However, I am wondering if family sharing can be set up differently to make it work? Like 2 organizers? Or is there a way that would allow me to select my own payment option (i.e. not force me to use her card?) Perhaps by setting up additional payment options within family share (but without requiring my wife/organizer,) or having the option of purchasing "outside of family sharing?" We can't have accounts tied to one of us exclusively. Thank you.

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.
