if his name is on mortgage, he is liable for monthly payment.

each party who signs a mortgage note is liable for the entire payment. how a couple works out the arrangements is specific to that couple. if you haven't been able to get your husband to contribute to the payment now, what makes you think you'll be able to do so after he leaves the home?

the only way i see you forcing him to contribute is to seek such an order through a court of law. and that can't actually force him, but it will provide a legal remedy if he doesn't comply.

i'm not quite convinced of the viability of forcing someone to pay to begin with.

Angel, I think we've covered this before, but I'll chime in anyway. You are both fully liable for payments, but if you haven't already been sharing the load, and if you haven't yet had the conversation about this, then you may have an issue persuading him to contribute. You did say "husband" rather than "ex" so I guess that means there's still hope that you'll work this out as a married couple rather than as strangers.

Honestly, since you're both legally liable, you can't simply "hold him liable" very easily - unless you are in a contentious situation and you can have a court issue such an order.

Mind you, that's not legal advice, as I am most definitely not an attorney. If you have a lawyer, check with him.
