Here is my current situation,
Husband has moved out and rented a townhouse, leaving me and our children in the matrimonial home. My living expenses are currently higher than his, as our mortgage payment is $700 more per month than his new house rental amount, and also his house rental INCLUDES utilities!
Right now, we are in the process of getting our separation agreement done. So far we have been joining our paychecks together, and then leaving me enough money to pay the house bills, and then splitting the difference between us for gas money and groceries. I imagine he is using part of a bank loan right now to pay for part of his house rental.
He is starting to ask about how we are going to start splitting fiances. All I told him was that eventually he will have to start making support payments to me. He makes almost double my salary. I will be getting spousal and child support. We are having 50/50 custody. In the end, according to the tables, we will both end up with approximately the same amount of money for net disposable income.
Right now we both own the matrimonial home, and I am living here with the kids. Most likely, we will sell the home.
*My question is:
Up until we sell the home, am I responsible for all of the matrimonial home utilities, whereas we are BOTH responsible for half of the mortgage, taxes and insurance on the home?? How does this work, when I start receiving support payments from him? Does he give me the support payment PLUS half of the mortgage/taxes/insurance?
Because to me it doesn't seem fair for me to be stuck here with the higher mortgage and both of us having the same NDI.
Hopefully someone can explain to me how this works. Thank you!
