If you both signed on the mortgage, you are both responsible. She will always be responsible unless you refinance without her. If she isn't going to assist you in paying the mortgage, I would see about having her sign over her interest in the home to you. If it is too much for you to handle on your own, you may need to sell it. Did you get 100% financing or did either of you put money down for the purchase? You both will be responsible for any deficit if selling it doesn't pay off the mortgage. Good luck and if you need any help, let me know - I work in real estate in Lafayette.

thanks for the response.

I was told by someone that because I am still living in the home and she chose to move out, that I would be the one responsible for the mortgage payments.

Do you know if this is true?

If we ended up selling the house for less than would cover the mortgage would she end up having to pay more then me?

Thanks again!

Listen to bandmom.
and hopefully you either got a really good purchase price, or she signed papers with you.
