Anne asks, "I've been working with a client for several years, and it's been an excellent relationship. However, the spouse is now interfering with the design of printed marketing materials. Now she has decided to start creating her own designs, in spite of the visual appearance I'm trying to build across all marketing materials. The clients so far does not appear to be willing to put a stop to it. Could anyone who has successfully salvaged a similar situation? Give me some advice on how to eject the spouse from the design work?"
