Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I need out of this house!

My husband and I own a house and in our divorce papers it states that each party will pay their portion of the mortgage and reside in the house til it sells. well i moved out and im having to pay my rent and my part of the mortgage still and my house still hasn't sold. Do I have a way out of this and what would happen if I just walked away since im not making any money when the house sells anyway with this horrible housing market? what would be the reprocutions to that?

It would be necessary to review your marital agreement and final judgment of Dissolution from the Florida court in order to advise you on this matter.

If it appears in the final judgment and you disobey the judge's order, he can then hold you in contempt and sentence you accordingly; flip it over and if your signature appears on the mortgage and you allow a default, then you are stuck with the arrearages and the balance due after the sale.
