Narrative:

I was working the 'a' final position with normal traffic and visual approach weather conditions. I am turning my aircraft onto the final at 4000 ft. MSL in my airspace and the adjacent final controller brings their aircraft through my airspace without a point out or any coordination to let me know they would be in close proximity with my aircraft. I was never informed if visual separation was being applied or even if traffic had been called. I was under the impression by the rule 7110.65 7-4-4 two aircraft intercepting two different final approach courses could not join from the same side without standard separation being applied. The other controller allowed the aircraft to come within about 600 ft MSL vertically and 2.1 - 2.5 miles laterally. This has been an ongoing issue with this particular controller and it creates an environment of distrust and animosity. If visual separation was applied I should have been informed so I could inform my adjacent aircraft of the situation and everything was in control. I was in my airspace doing the necessary tasks to insure my aircraft were getting onto the final and to the tower at the appropriate time for safe landing. Make sure you let the other person know what you are doing in their airspace prior to doing whatever you want. Retraining or skill enhancement maybe necessary on the final positions to insure appropriate control instructions; airspace procedures; and communication skills are met. Something as simple as saying 'maintain 5000 feet until established' would have prevented the entire issue as this person was turning at our outside the 5000 ft fix on the ILS for a visual approach anyway.
