Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Divorce: Is there a law that protects an ex-wife from receiving numerous claims from ex-husband, where the ex wife is now obligated to pay for attorney fees in defense of these claims in court? Ex-husband earns $250,000/yr while ex-wife earns $15,000/yr.

Ex-husband can afford his attorney fees and is trying to deplete all of his ex-wife's savings and spousal support through her payment of attorney fees. What can be done legally to stop ex-husband's pursuit to break his ex-wife financially?
