No. In the Western world women are allowed to own and possess their own property free of their husband's interference while she is living or they are married. Upon her death or their divorce, there may be a division of assets.

The court has the power to distribute property acquired during the marriage. You need to consult with an attorney in your area who specializes in divorce law who can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws.

Nice. You have to define the order of death, even by seconds, either by physical evidence or by assuming from the circumstances. First the spouse inherits, then their kids. e.g.;Car crash, man dies half an hour before, woman takes the money, then woman dies , her kids get the money. Man s kids get nothing, or less.

Is wife responsible for debts of deceased husband in the state of Ohio?

The estate has the responsibility. And the assumption is that the wife inherits at least half, if not all, of the husband's assets. But the estate has to liquidate all assets before they can transfer them to the spouse. One way or another, the spouse really ends up paying the debt. If there is more debt then assets, the debt will normally be closed out.
