Mortgage payments

Hi, can anyone tell me if a judge at final hearing could order me to pay mortgage payments until the house has been sold. It is my belief that the house may take some time to sell due to structual defects which are ongoing although covered by an insurance claim.
The situation is that myself and my ex earn basically the same incomes and there are no dependant children.
Stbx currently resides there.
I currently live with my partner in a house she owns.


Thank you

probably not if there are no children, but remember you will get less of a pay out when it does sell. I dont know the ins and outs,but from what you have said, dont you think its a bit nasty leaving your partner for another woman,then leaving her high and dry in as you said "structural defects" are on the house!!!! grow some balls and face your comitments

Judgemental, much?

Could be that the Ex didn''t give him a choice, told him to move out. Then I''d say she chose to stay in a house with structural defects undergoing repair.

OP, I''m not sure. The fact it can''t sell isn''t your Ex''s fault but she is benefiting from staying there by not having to pay rent elsewhere. I''d wait for a Wikipeep to come along and advise.

Jumping the gun without the facts like a few have on other threads.. God help any man who leaves there wife and posts on here!

Hi minxy, as you say you do not know the facts so please keep your opinions very much to yourself. I was after constructive advice and quite frankly i find your comments offensive.
The only facts you know are the one''s i have stated on here and one of the facts i will share with you is that i did not leave my wife for another woman. I left my wife because of domestic violence inflicted upon me througout the duration of my marriage.
Hope that clears things up for you!!

It is difficult to say about these things without the full facts. But since you earn the same and do not have children that will simplify things immensely.

Normally when one spouse stays in the house, they will pay the whole mortgage. That is entirely reasonable, since they have exclusive use of the other spouse''s half, it''s only fair that they pay the whole mortgage in lieu of rent.

However that is only the case if the remaining spouse can afford it. If she cannot then you may have to contribute too.
