Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: Mortgage pymt during divorce

Here's the way it works, usually:

You do not have to pay the mortgage, even if you live there, but then you stand the chance of the house going into default.

However, unless you agree to pay one-half, or you are ordered by the court, you do not have to pay.

At the time of selling the house, the person who has been paying the mortgage will be reimbursed the payments made towards the principal. Also, the person who has been living there could be charged for one-half of the fair market rental value.

If you pay, the you should be credited with those payments.

If your husband is living in the house then he should pay the entire payment. Contact me directly.
