Hoping that I can get some guidance here.
We use a custom domain with iCloud but we share the same email address. Setting it up initially on my mail client was seamless.
however how do I now do this on my wife’s phone so she can then access the email too.

To share a single custom domain email address across multiple Apple IDs, you do not need to add her to an iCloud Family Sharing plan for that specific email. Instead, you simply need to add your own iCloud account as a secondary mail account on her iPhone.
Because iCloud Custom Email Domains are tied to the specific Apple ID that created them, her own Apple ID cannot "host" or directly log into that exact same address

Thanks - all though maybe I wasn’t clear.
If I do what you’ve proposed this would give her access to my own email as well as the other domain we also share?
I have two custom domains on my iCloud.
Only the one I want to give her access too - however it appears that iCloud+ custom domains does not split the domains when you have multiples registered on your account they all just land in the same mailbox without being filtered on iOS mail client which is a bit of a failing.
That said I could be doing this wrong of course but I find it hard to believe that this cannot be done.
