Re: abandoned w/ 2 mortgages

You can seek relief in Family Court, which can include him being forced to help you with the expenses you listed. The fact that the debts are titled only in your name does not mean that he gets to walk away free and clear.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
