5 yr DBer, "Joint" D now in progress

[RSmiles]

So, my L thinks that H has to compensate me for not paying his half of the mortgage this month- so she's adding in the order to reduce my share of joint bills by the amt of H's unpaid mortgage payment. She also said that if he doesn't pay for the home when it's in his temporary possession he is in contempt of court and we can order that he reimburses me out of his share of the equity. I don't really want my legal bills to get massively expensive, but I also need the protection since I'm not staying in the house. So far, H indicates that with his renter he does plan to make the payments after I leave. H actually hopes to get 2 renters so he doesn't have to pay anything. What a guy!
