If the wife won't live within the income available then Divorce seems to be the only option that I can see, there is no other way to make her responsible for her own spending - any debts are jointly liable.

*A lovely chap from Cork...

Now I know why the dog preferred Chang!!

Hope you had a great trip.

Is she spending the LtdCo money? If so, you're fcked.

Otherwise, find out why she feels the need for retail therapy. What is it she is so depressed / disappointed about?
