Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
if I file and try to get my husband to leave the home since he has not paid the mortgage in over a year, will he also be required to pay me as well? The mortgage company offered a repayment plan asking for 15K up front then 4K for 6 months then the payment would drop to 1200K a month after that which I would be able to afford. He said he would move out but he has not yet. I have two kids under 18 still. He is basically abandoning us not paying the mortgage. I just don't know what to do at this point.

In your complaint you would ask for an order requiring him to contribute to the mortgage, particularly the delinquency. Once he's out, part of his child support payment would be treated as housing costs for the children. MD has child support guidelines which provide a standard amount that the children are entitled to, prorated by the respective parents' incomes. For example, if the custodial parent of 2 children makes $3750/mo pre-tax, and the non-custodial parent makes $11250, the non-custodial parent's child support obligation would be @$2150/mo. Of course, when the 16-yr-olds reach 18 or graduate from high school, whichever happens last (but not to exceed age 19), his child support obligation ends.
