Re: House and household bills past due.
The Court will divide the marital assets and debts between the two of you. In many cases, the Court will require both parties to contribute to the mortgage payments while the case is pending, depending on what other debts/expenses each party is paying.
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.
