Legal Question in Family Law in California
What are my obligations?
If I leave the house we are in right
now, would I be considered as
abandoning the home. What are my
legal obligations toward the house
and should I stay just to wait for the
sale of the house? He does not want
to sell the house but he has no
money to buy me out now. If he
stays and pays for all the expenses of
the house including the house
payment, will the court say that I
have abandoned the house? If and
when I decide to leave, am I still
obligated to pay for half of everything
regarding the house payment and
household expenses? Thank you so
much.

Re: What are my obligations?
Leaving the home will not in and of itself have an adverse affect on you. You may want to help with the mortgage payment to save the house from foreclosure, assuming that it has a positive equity. Spousal support is an issue to consider. If your income is higher than his income, you may have to pay spousal support.
Consulting with an attorney will provide you with answers and peace of mind.
