Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

I live in NJ. I was a stay at home mom for 13 yrs. then I worked for 10 months. Went on disability for breast cancer for 9 months ( I am in remission now) and back to work for past 8 months. My husband of 21 yrs told me he is looking for an apartment & will be leaving as soon as he does. We own a home for 15 yrs. for which he, being the bread winner of the family, pays the bills for. He told me I should live here & let the house go into foreclosure then look for an apartment myself. We have a 15 yr old son. This has been his home since he was born. Can my husband just walk out on us, leaving me with all the bills? I cannot possibly pay the mortgage of $2400 as I only bring home $1000 a month.
