Like Kunkstyle said, setup a joint account for mortgage payments only.

So you have two accounts on your card at a bank machine:
Chequing - Your own account
Savings - Joint account (Mortgage only)

Her debit card at machine
Chequing - her account
Savings - Joint account (Mortgage only)

This way you can both do transfers into the shared account for free but not access each other's everyday accounts.

I guess if you don't trust her, the risk is she can empty the account anytime you put money into it for the mortgage. But if she is doing that I think you have other issues to deal with.
