Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Sepration about living arraggements
If one party will not leave the home and the the other party leaves to reside elsewhere is this considered abandonement on the part of the party who leaves? If the party who leaves is the financial support of the home is the party still legally expected to pay things such as utilities? The party plans to continue to pay house payments until the other party leaves the residence permentantly.

Re: Sepration about living arraggements
The court considers many factors in deciding which party is entitled to stay in the home and whether the other party will have to contribute toward living expenses such as utilities. There are no rules to answer your question until a judge has entered an order. From what you have asked regarding temporary living arrangements upon separation, it appears that you need a quick motion for temporary orders set for a hearing right away. The temporary orders would answer your questions regarding living arrangements pending the final hearing. If you live near San Antonio, call my office at 210-655-9090

Unless a court has ruled, there is nothing the party living in the house can do to get bills such as utilities paid.
It sounds like you need a divorce with temporary orders.
